History
The station was established by the Royal Air Force as base for 367 Signals Unit in the early 1950s.[1] In 1964, following a review by Sir Gerald Templer, control of the site passed to Government Communications Headquarters.[2] The site was decommissioned and operations consolidated at Chung Hom Kok in 1982.[1]
