I've slipped the new locations on to the map, but the 34 huts seem to have a typo somewhere, and land up north, to the east of Loch Goil.
The new point also contains the original RCAHMS centre of the battery - you need to click the link on the list of points above the map to open the marker and see which one (the one given as "Further huts west of the road...". Perhaps this only suggest the original battery position is not accurate or certain.
The accuracy of the records always seems to be suspect now - I'm beginning to take it as granted, and just keep adding phrases like "Records indicate..." lest anyone come back and moan about the info being right, wrong, or otherwise.
I'm never sure about GL radar reports now, since it's clear that despite the mat needed by the early, non-centimetric types, the gear was mobile and mounted in trucks, so saying it was "installed" is probably a bit pointless. The map and ramp had to installed, or the radar would have been less effective if wheeled in, so its existence is probably an indication that radar may or may not ever have been used. However, absence of the mat and ramp is almost a sure sign that radar was never used at the site, unless it was later and centimetric.
If you can check the figs and let me know if there are any corrections I'll slot them in.
If not, it might still be valid to assume a one-digit correction for the 34 huts which will place them where intended. |
