1971 – Operations Site, Domestic Site and Surrounding Area
Pacific Rim National Park

The Pacific Rim National Park (PRNP) completed an inventory of buildings in March 1971. We have obtained a number of photos and we are adding these to the web site in an attempt to show you what remained at the Operations site (Radar Hill) as well as the Domestic site which was located at the airport. It must be appreciated that these photos were taken in March 1971.

The towers at the Operations site had aleady been dismantled in January 1962 - leaving very little behind. As a matter of fact, there were only three buildings remaining on Radar Hill in March 1971. The largest of the three was the Power Plant - which had a steel frame, consisted of one large room and had outside dimensions of 65' x 60'. The Operations building was made of reinforced concrete, consisted of six rooms and had outside dimensions of 70' x 40'. The third structure was somewhat smaller. It was located adjacent to the Operations building, consisted of one room and had outside dimensions of 25' x 20'. We have been advised that all of these buildings were removed in 1972.
