Watson-Watt’s “Three steps to Victory” gives a comprehensive account of all forms of radar and IFF during WW2.

Train from Stansted to Cambridge, free bus to Duxford from Cambridge station. That’s how I do it (unless lucky enough to get a lift from Cambridge instead).

As a former “cold war warrior” I find this thread fascinating and actually laughed out loud!
Reminds me of a certain transportable ground-to-air missile radar that took us a year to dismantle, pack, transport a few hundred miles (by road), unpack, reassemble and get working again. At least we then managed to shoot down a few old Meteors that were flying straight and level at just the right distance away!
We hoped that the Russkies would bide their time while all this was going on!

Half the film devoted to the love interest – sounds ominous!

How, pray tell, can ALSR prevent you from landing?

If you just turn off the engine you will land.

Not in today’s computer-controlled aircraft, you will crash instead! Eject! Eject! Eject!

Well done, Ken, when will you be able to take me up for an aerial view of Edinburgh? Many thanks for taking the enormous trouble a while ago to show me East Fortune.

Is my memory playing tricks on me, or did I see this aircraft at Abingdon in 1968 leading the RAF flypast in the presence of HM the Queen?

By the way, I can’t see the plaque staying long, unless the screw slots are filled in! There are plenty of light-fingered folk just looking for something to flog on E-bay!

I think it would be the Public Affairs lady at RAF Waddington, a serving RAF officer, I believe. Try phoning the station!

I googled and came up with the same as you Eddie, and was about to make the same suggestion but you got there first!
On my next visit there I will try to get inside the Forum building and see if it matches – however I have no idea when my next visit will be – but I always take my camera!
