I am not sure about the about the upturned lorry chassis, but you can find out more about the telescope <a href="http://www.jodrellbank.manchester.ac.uk/aboutus/lovell/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. It is part of the University of Manchester research. It is open to the public and you can get quite close although it is behind a fence.

Were you on a visit as a group or is it open to the public? Actually, as impressive as it is, I was told the whole project was underfunded (what's new) and was 'cobbled' together with all sorts of compromises. The dish used to be rotated by a upturned lorry chassis! :o I don't know if that is still the case? How did you get so close Cherie?
