Hi,
in the book `The Secret War` [Brian Johnson ISBN 0099207907] it mentions the fact that after the war Wurzburg Radar equipment was taken back to England and given to Universities, such was the excellent design of the equipment.
Apart from the example at Duxford does any of this equipment still survive and is it being still being used? It’s likely to still be around perhaps the original purpose has been forgotten.
Regards,
H.

The Deelen Airfield museum recently got one.
Funny, my department I work for got the request to insure it’s transportation to the Harskamp a few weeks ago.
There’s also one at Overloon IIRC.

One in Normandy at the Radar museum near Douvre.
Located on a former German radar site with an excellent museum including lots of working material.

I believe one was used to detect the hydrogen line (echo of the big bang)
