Introducing myself - hello all!
Hi,
A quick message to say hello, I'm Rich - I work in policing and live in Staffordshire. I am interested in history, the World Wars/Cold War/SIGINT in particular.
Pursuing this interest, I maintain a history blog as part of which I visit sites to see what remains, get the drone up for some photography and write about the sites including an overview of what I've been able to find out about the sites from open source research.
I've been to a few sites of historical SIGINT interest over the past year, thought members might be interested in these and I'd be keen to hear any comments, contributions, see any photos etc if anyone can assist.
Notably the sites have included CSOS Cheadle in Staffordshire, the WWII Political Warfare Executive studios at Milton Byran, GCHQ's former sites at Oakley and Benhall prior to the construction of the 'doughnut', and the Diplomatic Wireless Service's three Buckinghamshire sites at Gawcott, Creslow and Poundon - the latter of which appears to be linked to GCHQ although not yet officially acknowledged as such.
Looking forward to hearing about the backgrounds of other NSIST members and seeing what you post.
Cheers,
Rich
