  • Most of the satellites dishes had been taken down and it is no longer operational. Three dishes now left, one is a listed structure. The site now houses the Future World attraction and visitor's centre.
  • Most of the satellite dishes were NOT taken down. ONLY ONE (GHY02) was scrapped. Meanwhile, more Ka and Ku band antennas are being built on the site.
