Protestors against "Son of Star Wars"

The occupation of the Menwith Hill listening station in North Yorkshire may have ended but protests against the station are still likely to be stepped up.
Greenpeace activists broke into Menwith Hill earlier this week to highlight the station's possible role in the so called Son of Star Wars missile defence system.
Campaigners say the site will be part of an American defence strategy which will lead to a new arms race.
But as Bob Walker discovered many local people give the station their full support, saying it brings much needed investment to the local economy...
The pictures show Greenpeace protestors outside the entrance to Menwith Hill and some of the activists on top of the base's water tower.
