I visited Orford Ness back in 2011, an amazing site with a fascinating history, its a shame the lighthouse has now been demolished. Departing from the quayside, it was interesting to note the high level of water that occurred in 1953 as a result of high tides and low pressure storms that affected the east coast. Lovely video Liam, well produced and edited. 👌

Cheers Steve, didn't realise you'd been nice one! Yeah certainly sad to see the lighthouse went, personally I'd have rather it was left to fall to the sea naturally and the area cordoned off.

Really interesting documentary .I had the great pleasure of working on the Ness for nearly three years in the eighties and your documentary explained some of the thing we only new as rumours whilst i was there. Most of the buildings don't look much different even some of the scrap lying around, including the old fuel pump looked familiar. There used to be a hangar on the street near what was our office and rest area in what i think you said was the electrical room.

As always, quality production and highly informative content. I'm not able to get out due to health problems so it's quality content like this that puts me in touch with my local history and wildlife. Well done and thank you! Keep up the stirling work!

Excellent! Very informative. I'm planning on going on the Orford Ness Half Day Trailer Tour with the National Trust as my walking is pretty weak at the moment. I have a drone as well and wondered if you asked for permission first or just took a chance? I imagine Spirit of Suffolk would have sought it. Do you have any form of contacting them or are they quite 'searchable' on the Internet?

You definitely can't drive there! We went via the boat trip, people have walked it but it's not official and a serious hike I've heard many fail. A good bit of the country to visit nonetheless though.

I never knew about any of this. I find it interesting that Britain is allowing the site to return largely to its natural state. In America, we tend to preserve these in-country sites as sacred ground. For example, the Trinity Test Site in New Mexico is in pristine condition. I'll let someone else debate which approach is better, but I DO find the disparity interesting, considering the obvious similarities between our two cultures. I feel sad about the lighthouse. In America, the huge Cape Hatteras (North Carolina) lighthouse, one of the largest ever built, was moved a few hundred yards at great expense to save it from the encroaching Atlantic Ocean. Thanks for sharing this fascinating information.

Thanks for this comment, makes for an interesting comparison between the nuclear powers. I suppose the atomic weapons research at Orford Ness has still been memorialised to some extent, I think the buildings are allowed to decay simply due to the difficult logistics of the place and how exposed it is to the elements. I think they'll survive for a good while longer given how sturdy they were built.

Do you know how long it served as an airfield? My Dad used to tell me he was stationed there in WW2 as a fitter/armourer with the Fleet Air Arm,but I have't been able to find out anything else about this?

Not entirely sure but I think it was still functioning to some degree in WW2, I think it was more of an aircraft experimentation place than strictly an airfield.

May I correct you (and your viewers) IT DID NOT TEST atomic weapons like you state at the start, it tested the triggers for them! CLICK BAIT! I worked on the building in the 90s as a roofing contractor ( I had a portable Geiger counter with me, and signed the OSA to work on there (Official Secrets Act)) and at NO TIME did I detect anything above background radiation levels. So I suggest that you do not mislead the public into thinking that nuclear weapons were ever tested on this site!
