The Air Force Radar was initialy installed at the Airport and then moved at the edge of the Town
the old tactic of locating valuable assets close to the civilian population to avoid it being attacked was indeed alive and well throughout the war. I did not realise this was the case with the radar but I know that it was the case with the surface launched exocets such as the one that hit HMS Glamorgan. They arrived on a hospital ship along with special forces (my Dad photographed it unloading in front of the house) and were only taken towards the airport area at night when it was safe to do so.
