A geodesic radar dome at Lowther Hill Civil Aviation Authority Radar Station, Scotland. Such radar stations are used by airliners flying at high altitudes, and provide information about air space over a very wide area. The dome itself is made of fibre-glass which, unlike concrete, is transparent to radiowaves.
