Informations supplémentaires

An abandoned wartime fort at the Red Sands in the Thames estuary. These Maunsell forts were constructed in the early 1940's during WW2 and had guns and searchlights on originally. When completed in 1943 it was designated as HM Fort Red Sands (U6). They were designed by Guy Maunsell, and can be seen from the shore at Whitstable in Kent. The Kentish flats windfarm is a modern structure completed in 2005 and can be seen beyond. The Red Sands fort is the only one with all seven towers standing as shown here. There were four 3.7in AA towers, one 40mm AA tower, one searchlight tower and one radar control tower. They were used in the 60's for Pirate radio.
