Paul and I visited the site the day before they announced it was to close. Paul and I have been trying to remember the name of the largest one. Was it Arthur? Cornwall is going to lose a famous landmark and a tourist attraction :(

Merlin I think is the largest with 32Meter diameter and Arthur is the oldest originally built to link with telstar. certainly a big loss to Cornwall. I was very lucky to be part of a group who were invited down for a private tour to look behind the scenes at wots happening there now behind all the tourist stuff open to the public.
