Good grief - Western Radar!

I seem to recall having spoken to them when positioning for boom runs in the Gnat and Hunter in 1975 - when did they disappear?

I always pictured 'Cotswold Radar' as being manned by a couple of aged air traffickers living in a wooden shack deep in the countryside outside somewhere like Moreton-in-Marsh.... And the infamous 'Midland Radar Overhead' - those old units had such a quaintness about them

Back to the Royal Wedding, I see that Jack 'Man of' Straw is now moaning that neither Bliar nor Broon have been invited.....
