Previously posted this joint a few years ago straight into the old 'Pit of D' as it really is a...... pit.
Anyhow, I was bored and hadn't really got around the whole place last time.
There are actually a couple of photogenic rooms and I really liked the mushrooms - Haven't seen a good crop of mushrooms inside a building before. But essentially it is a real mess. There is the full life cycle of pidgy in here in mass numbers as well - eggs, chicks, dying and dead....as well as stalagmites of crap.
Decca Radar was bought in 1979 by Racal Electronics forming Racal-Decca Marine and related companies. Early Racal-Decca radars had dropped the Decca name, but it was later restored. At this time the business was run from New Malden in Surrey. In the mid-1980s, Decca introduced the BridgeMaster series of radars, which used a rasterized colour display. The BridgeMaster II series followed, with a Motorola68000 CPU and software options like vector traces showing the trajectories of other ships as part of the ARPA package.
