I thought I'd pass on a great example of British secretness. During the Cold War, loads of things were really secret. For instance, near me, the underground bunkers where UK intercept fighters were controlled from was in a little Norfolk village called Neatishead. The locals of course were very aware of it's presence - but the spinning radar heads - huge overground buildings and massive nodding banana shaped height finding radars were a real give-away. However - on the Ordnance Survey maps - the Government sponsored mapping agency, it was an empty field. An official secret. Indeed - in London in Tottenham Court Rd - near theatre land and the centre of popular London, there was, for all to see a huge 600ft tall+ structure called the Post Office Tower - featuring a nuclear burst resistant shape, and loads of microwave radio link antennas. In a famous secrets trial the ABC trial, where almost everything was secret, three journalists were being tried for giving away official secrets. One of them was the Post Office Tower - again, missing from maps. In the trial it was, I believe, referred to as 'site 23' - despite the fact that every Londoner could see it! Quite a few sites are still missing from Google earth and street view. I discovered one when my drone refused to take off - I was near a geofenced secure area, recorded as a military site. I could see a field with a few nice houses. If you have google earth - look up this map reference, then try street view. 52 degs 11'40.84"N 1 deg 19'26.49"E Just south of a town called Framlingham where Ed Shearan comes from. It's 2021 and somebody has the clout to have a house in a field geofenced from DJI drones and missing from Google earth. Nobody here is that interested.
