History
The station was established by the Royal Air Force as base for 367 Signals Unit in the early 1950s. In 1964, following a review by Sir Gerald Templer, control of the site passed to Government Communications Headquarters. The site was decommissioned and operations consolidated at Chung Hom Kok in 1982.
