Sound mirrors, Kent, UK - September 2005.
Map.
| These structures were built
between the wars and formed part of an early warning system designed to detect
the sound of distant enemy aircraft approaching the Kent coast. The
sound of the aircraft engines would be reflected in the curved surfaces
and concentrated onto a central microphone. The development of faster
aircraft and invention of the radar eventually made them obsolete. The
mirrors are located on private land, but guided tours are available.
