When did Eastern Radar finally expire, and move to LATCC and then Swanwick? I could have been ERD’/Watton’s last CO, but AOC MATO black-balled me as “I had a serving wife who could not fulfil the duties of an independent Unit’s CO’s spouse.” Ah, the Flower Arranging and Wives’s Club. Those were the days! Never forgotten or forgiven!!
The Type 82 was still there in 1981 and Luffenham's one was still going in 1983. Watton was still going in 1992/93 as some of our guys at Ty-Croes were detached there for some reason to cover our airspace when the Type 94 was down for extended servicing.
