Visit to Bawdsey Radar Museum
A world first - The Story of Bawdsey Radar. In February 1936 research scientists occupied Bawdsey Manor House and the outbuildings were converted into workshops. On the 24th September September 1937 RAF Bawdsey became the first fully operational radar station in the world. 240ft wooden receiver towers and 360ft steel transmitter towers were built and Bawdsey became the first Chain Home Radar Station. By the outbreak of World War 2 a chain of radar stations was in place around the coast of Britain. RAF Bawdsey was unique in that it had Coastal Defence(CD) Chain Home Low (CHL) and Chain Home equipment together on one site. Radar stations such as Bawdsey were to prove invaluable intelligence during the battle of Briatain when 2,400 Luftwaffe planes were set against the RAF's 640. The LN are running this value added visit with a presentation from Graham Murchie, Trustee of Bawdsey Radar together with light refreshments. This year there will be a charge of 10:00GBP to cover the expenses.
