The Bawdsey Radar Connections system lists those who served, trained or worked at RAF Bawdsey from 1937 to 1991.

As no single list of the personnel at RAF Bawdsey was ever produced, Connections is being compiled from information in official sources, publications and, most importantly, that has been provided by the men and women themselves, their former colleagues and families.

Connections is by no means complete and we are very interested in hearing about anyone who should be added.

If you think that someone should be added, please complete the Add A Connection form here to tell us about them. If you were part of the RAF Bawdsey story, then we are particularly keen to capture your details and stories of those days.
