RADAR

As the old bucket list saying used to go - see Ken Dodd before you die. I managed it - once! It was an hour after midnight before he let us out of the theatre!

Managed to get round Bletchely years ago before it became more of a tourist attraction for the masses rather than something of an anorak subject.

Must go back and see how it has changed over the last 20-odd years.


RADAR - I thought the Luftwaffe had managed to devise a piece of kit to be used by their night fighters to home in on H2S transmissions from our bombers?

OBOE was a slightly different but more accurate kit used by mosquito Pathfinders and GEE was another variant.

Trouble was, any active RADAR transmission could be used to track you, in the same way that police used mobile phone signals to track criminals today.

Active search and detection devices have always had this problem. Submarine SONAR is another example. Detection, evasion of detection, and spoofing are fascinating subjects once you begin to read up on them.
