Chivenor's Search Radar Location
I need some help from any ex-RAF Chivenor personnel, please.
Where on the airfield was the Surveillance Radar (Watchman or AR1) located? I’ve had a close look on Google Earth and can’t see anything positive that would fit the bill. However, the hard-stand at 51º 05’ 09.27”N 4º 09’ 41.53”W looks promising; can anyone confirm or correct, please?
Yes, I have tried to contact RMB Chivenor but answering the ‘phone seems to be a lost art there (if they are deployed to the Sandpit – many apologies and Good Luck). Although the SAR det were as helpful as they could be, but they didn’t have the corporate historical knowledge.
No, I can’t tell why I want to know but it is not anything underhand and could be of benefit to the MoD’s coffers in the long term.
