‘Bawdsey Research Station’ Commemorations 2010
In recognition of the
historic events that took place in 1935 and 1940 which
played a significant part in Britain’s war effort,
commemorative events have been taking place at Bawdsey
Manor during 2010. To commemorate the end of the Battle
of Britain radio stations will be operated from the
Manor on Saturday & Sunday 11 & 12 September.
The Bawdsey Radar Museum
(in the original
transmitter Block) will also be open on Sunday 12
September.
During its time as a radar research centre and as an operational station for Chain Home radar, it was known by the acronym BRS – Bawdsey Research Station. It was here that Sir Robert Watson-Watt and his colleagues turned the ideas on which the well known experiment at Daventry (26 Feb 1935) was based into a full operational system, without which the outcome of the Battle of Britain would almost certainly have been quite different.
You may have watched the rather unimpressive demonstration of radar on Coast recently (you can detect aircraft before you see them!). Come and see how it was really done!
