RAF Akrotiri :

 

the telegraph marker, weak, recorded 1973 by Michael Marten
listen here to a voice call to London (Lars Lundström, 1975)
here a recording from 'Cyprus Flight Watch', made in 1991 by Rudy van Dalen

 

here a look at (parts!) of the gigantic communications station - watch for more details on e.g. Google Earth.
My efforts for more pictures were ended by soldiers telling me to stop photographing... (rb, 2013)
