There was a big,old house in one corner of RAF Ping Shan and I must have taken this and the next photo, from there.  Although I do not remember entering it  at any time it was the only place that I can recall which would have allowed above-ground-level shots like these.   The radar set in this shot was an old, rotating  type whilst the one in the second shot was a vertical, nodding type (presumably giving the cruising height of scanned objects).   My eyes are not much good now but I think that is the Ping Shan pagoda above the corner of the buiding end.
