ORAC,

The vast majority of civil radars are secondary only, hence the rotaing blades at windfarms are not a factor.
Are they? That's news to me!

NATS and CAA work closely on windfarms. I believe that the new radar at Trimingham is also desinged to mitigate degradation of NATS' en route radars as well as those of the RAF.
