Any pictures of this in the public domain, now that it has been decomissioned? I'm sure I've seen it on some TV program..! Dvmedis (talk) 11:48, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It now looks like the site very soon became a large decoy after it was completed; the disperses PYTHON concept succeeded the idea of a single central H.Q. Had it survived an exchange it would have been used as a location for surviving PYTHON groups to come together to form a new central government. However it would no longer have a role during a crisis, or during an exchange. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.27.29.18 (talk) 10:11, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The PYTHON idea about it being a decoy is a theory not a proven fact. There is evidence to support both arguments. It is more likely that BOTH options would have been available as CGWHQ would have withstood anything other than a direct ground burst strike. CloudSurferUK (talk) 10:28, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Original research re: new construction

The bit about new construction on Google Maps in 2014 in the introduction is likely original research. Also, the most recent image on Google Earth is from mid-2013, and no new construction is apparent. ProgHead777 (talk) 03:33, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
