Tangmere1940, I’m afraid the IWM photo looking up the transmitter tower is most definitely NOT Poling. The general view of the station (IWM neg no CH 15173), the vertical aerial and the private shot are, but the view up the tower is not. How do I know? It’s the wrong type of tower, and quite distinctive if you know the three different designs which were used. This photo is almost certainly of a tower at Bawdsey in Suffolk.

Hello Ian, I was delighted to find this site, and view the comments and photos from all contributors. My father was a radar mechanic in WW2 with his first posting to CHL Dunwich following attendance at No.1 Radar School Cracnwell in July 1942. Later postings were to RAF CH Poling, Truleigh Hill,Hythe & CHL The Needles. He died not long after returning to NZ,and I am keen to obtain information/photos of the Dunwich CHL and/or RAF Accommodation sites. I visited Dunwich in 2002, only the generator block remains, and a photo in the National Trust/Coastguard building of campers taken in the 1950’s showing an outline of the CHL tower in the background. Would you have any further information regarding RAF Dunwich in particular? Many thanks, Maurice340.
P.S. I was directed to the Stenigot Site, with one remaining transmitter mast, amazing!
