RAF Chenies is a former Royal Air Force radar intercept station located 1.4 miles (2.3 km) North of the village of Chenies in Buckinghamshire, built in the 1930s and originally used by RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War[1] repurposed in the 1950s as part of the ROTOR air defence programme.
[2] During later years of operation when large parts of the site was disused the Operations Room was used by the technicians to play a game called "The Chenies Ball".
A volleyball net would be set up across the centre of the room and a variant of the game volleyball would be played where players were permitted to bounce the ball off the walls.
All of the derelict buildings have been demolished, the antenna tower has been removed and construction is underway on at least two houses.
[5] The active radar installation is still securely fenced off inside the larger compound.
