Hi All,
This is what PaulR refers to just the section that mentions RAF Durrington.
RAF 113 SQUADRON
F/Sgt Alan Baites
Instead we were posted to RAF Durrington, West Worthing, a top secret establishment which became the first mobile radar station in the world located on a road of a housing estate as yet unbuilt and surrounded by festoons of barbed wire were a group of camouflaged caravans: generator, A.I transmitter and receiver, operations room, VHF crystal controlled R/T van and Admin’ guarded by the Black Watch. The unit was not yet operational; our job was to operate the VHF.R/T, our call sign was boffin.
I think RAF Durrington was on the site that is now the Inland Revenue by the station at Durrington. The mobile unit may have been in the grounds of Field Place just across the road. Although there has always been talk about a secret bunker that was the communication centre beneath the ground which is now a putting green, with tunnels leading to Poling, the secret establishment and beyond.
