Three Radio Masts at Langthwaite

Taken from the Langthwaite Road, this photo shows three radio masts at Langthwaite with their aerials and microwave dishes fixed on them for radio communication. The mast in the middle has a red aircraft warning light at its top so that it can be seen for miles around at night.
