Gutersloh

I don't remember there being a mobile radar anywhere on the airfield, there was a TACAN at one end along with a disused radar, a small red thing (ACR-7?). This small radar was eventually moved up in front of the Ops block in the early 1990s. The AR-1 radar was set in concrete and never moved anywhere - more's the pity.

There was a very small radar bomb score unit based up on the Tuterberger Wald, I guess there were 'mobile' although they never seemed to move anywhere!! I can't remember what they were called and there's no mention of them that I can find in 'Flugplatz Gutersloh' the history of the station written by Gerry Lewis.
