RAF Blakehill Farm

Royal Air Force Blakehill Farm or more simply RAF Blakehill Farm is a former Royal Air Force station southwest of Cricklade in Wiltshire, England, operational between 1944 and 1952.

[2] The following units were also here at some point:[8] In 1967, GCHQ set up an "experimental radio station", a secret research facility, on the site.

The site was still active in some capacity until the mid-1990s,[9] and traces of the former communications mast bases can still be seen on aerial photographs.

It is possible that this tower was a relic of the wartime Chain Home network, although its lattice pattern is of another type.
