I wonder of the team members of Cyan ever saw any of these forts. They where always good at making really weirdly designed buildings and structures in their games.
On an another note. If found the lay out to be very interesting.
They had the command center in the middle as sort of a hub that can connect to all the other bases with the exception of the Search Light which was the farthest away. The Command center had its four AA towers covering the front of it and the Radio tower on the back.
Nice music - "A House Is Not A Home" by Bacharach - who's the singer?
I visited this fort in the Seventies, with Chris Cary (Spangles Muldoon). At that time, the walkways were still intact (-ish). Chris told me they used to wind up the DJs by jumping up and down in the middle of them, which would shake the towers!
Apparantly they are held down by a weight rather than fixed to the sea floor. and so make a really creepy creeking sound as they rock slightly in the waves...any of that true do we know?
i thought the linking walkways were removed to discourage pirate radio stations moving into them, red sands was used for a time by a pirate radio station and when they were thrown out the walkways were taken down. becuase i bleive there was a picture, video or news article about them doing it one of the three things.
I must sincerely thank you for your post. This haunting structure has lurked in my memory since the spring of 1966 when the Secret Agent episode "Not So Jolly Roger" was broadcast in New York City.
was there a ladder or a row of steps to climb into the tower? i see them things almost everyday when I go for a bike ride and i stop by the local beach to view them (if its sunny, cloudless and clear of course)
Briliant video so who is using them now? I guess if you wanted to live a lifestyle of being outside of society then these would be the ideal place to be.
Fab work fellas... These forts need to be remembered.. I first saw them on Dangerman in the 60's and you fella's have walked the walk of the troops, the pirate radio, the film stars and the hippi hang ons.. WOW..!!!!
