I have lunch often with the gentleman who was the 'civil SATCO' of both units.
'Northern Radar' at Lindholme had closed by the late 1970s, but 'Midland Radar' at RAF North Luffenham was still alive in the early 1980s.
Before Northern Radar closed, there was a joint MARS service (using the same frequency) with Border for traffic to/from Newcastle and Teeside called NJRSA (Northern Joint Radar Service Area)
Would that civil SATCO be GB by any chance?
