Does your radar pick up UFOs? "No Comment"

From Conachair we made our way over to the neighbouring summit of Mullach Mor which is festooned with masts and...

 ...radar domes. They track test missiles fired from the South Uist rocket range. The range and the tracking station were built in 1957. I am sure they track other things as well...

 ..but when I asked the friendly QinetiQ employee if they they had tracked a UFO early on Sunday morning, he replied with a firm "No comment.". A case of "We didn't see no UFO's" then!

From the Radar Station we looked down on Glen Bay and...

...An Campar which stretches away to...

...Soay in the distance. What a location to work in!

And the morning commute isn't too bad either, though they do need to check the wind speed before setting off, in case the LandRover gets blown away into the sea!
