Not that much technical detail - but it's a great example of "Public communication of science/History". |
I have been to Bawdsey village, and could see the manor house where the project reached its final stages. Initially it started on Orford Ness and moved to Bawdsey. There was an excellent programme on television many years ago starring Eddie Izzard as Robert Watson Watt which briefly showed both locations of research.
My late father once worked on the Top Secret Research AWRE project in the 1960's (Cold War) also on Orford Ness.
There are a few books on the Radar, and some mention about the Weapon Research.
