Another pic of Kilnsea Sound Mirror, this time on 110 film.

The negatives are very thin and I suspect the developer was expired…

Kilnsea Sound Mirror, photographed back in May…

The mirror was one of a number of such structures erected along the coastline of England to listen for approaching enemy aircraft. The mirrors did work but were superseded by developments in Radio Direction Finding (RDF), better known as ‘RADAR’.

A pic from the Analogue Wonderland Big Film Photowalk 2026 in Sheffield in June.

I took two cameras, the Contax T2 and a Nikon F2S (the latter loaded with Kentmere 200). It was an enjoyable day, we even had time for a couple of pints in the Kelham Island Tavern!
