- RAF_Portland abstract "RAF Portland is a former Royal Air Force radar station on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. The station is situated in the Verne area, close to the Verne Citadel (HM Prison The Verne), the Verne High Angle Battery and Nicodemus Knob. The station, which sits near the cliff edge overlooking East Weares, is now the site of the community farm and tourist attraction Fancy's Family Farm. The buildings stand above a vast underground tunnel system including large rooms cut out of the limestone, whilst the track passing by the station revels in the name Glacis.The station, enclosed in security fencing, remained the subject of many false local rumours over the decades concerning the true nature of the buildings. Some rumours had stated that the site was where local authority and military staff would have retreated to survive a nuclear attack on Britain, with some rumours additionally suggesting the bunker was big enough for 5,000 people and the Queen herself would inhabit it if nuclear war ever broke out.[citation needed] Other stories tell of vast radar installations set up in the early 1950s as part of Britain's Cold War defences.The site is scheduled under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 because it appears to the Secretary of State to be of national importance.".
