SBA Main Beacon walled enclosure

Almost identical to the Standard Beam Approach main beacon at its satellite airfield at RAF Templeton, it provided a means of navigation onto the main runway for aircraft at night, or in conditions of poor visibility. The walled enclosure here is also rectangular, and is aligned exactly to the orientation of the main runway LinkExternal link.
