Abstract:		 The Radar Station at Langtoft was established during the Second World War as a Ground Control Intercept (GCI) station. It was retained after the end of the war and was substantially enlarged during the late 1940s. In the early 1950s there was a more drastic remodelling of the site under the 'Rotor' scheme to renew Britain's radar defences. The most notable addition at this date was a R6 type double-storey heavily protected bunker - one of five built in the United Kingdom. New radar plinths were also added. Minor modifications continued throughout the 1950s, including the construction of Type 80 radar modulator building, although it is unclear whether the radar was installed. The station was relatively short-lived and by March 1958 the unit was reduced to a care and maintenance role. It was sold during the 1960s, since which date the Site has been used as a scrap yard.
