Plessey Radar Display - Where did it come from ?

The National Museum of Scotland's Museum of Flight at East Fortune were given an old Plessey radar display several years ago and they are trying to find out a little bit about its history and at what ATC unit it was used.

There is a rumour that it may have been used at some point at West Drayton before being transferred to an airfield somewhere in the UK. Apart from the display and its cabinet, the only other clues are probably in the burnt phosphor marks on the screen which show a cross runway configuration and various other marks which may be airspace and airfields.

If you recognise this piece of kit or where it might have been used, please let me know !!
