History of the 23 cm Radar at LHR
Hi All,
I see that the iconic 23 cm Radar at LHR has been slated for decommissioning (very odd not seeing it going round any more). I was wondering if those in ATC at LHR both past and present can give me a bit of history lesson on it, I’m interested in things like when was built, by who, what was its primary use(s), what sort of upgrades has it had over the years, that sort of thing.
It’s such a part of Heathrow Airport (along with the old tower) that many will be sad to see it go, so It would be nice to know a bit about it.
