Radar in the Air Event

A two day event – ‘Radar in the Air’ held at BT Adastral Park, Martlesham and the Bawdsey Radar Museum recently was well attended. Talks were given on the aspects of radar development for use in aircraft.  Actual World War 2 equipment was on display alongside unique reproductions of the valve-driven radar systems.

Defence Electronics History Society and DEHS members attended a meeting hosted by Bawdsey Radar Museum.

Dr Phil Judkins, Chairman of DEHS gave the following quote:

“Britain was the first nation in the world to have airborne radar, the first to have air to surface radar, ASV, to detect ships and surfaced submarine, and the first to have air interception radar, AI, to fight night bombers.”
