It's well worth seeing, Mike. (...been through some interesting times...)

I spent a couple of days and nights there in 97(?) teaching the crew vertical rescue. I've attached a couple of scans of photos taken at the time (not too flash!). It was heaven on a stick for a vertical rescuer! Anchors everywhere! We had a great time.

Not sure where the guided tour goes, hopefully up onto the dish itself. If they take you up to the focal box, you might recognise the ladder in the second shot. And the view from the top of the focal box is superb, but I dare say the tour won't go that far!
