Reply to Gordon Dennison re swapout of LBA radar:

My mother taught at Springfield, the Special School at the junction of Whitehouse Lane/Scotland Lane. I was a spotter at LBA from 73/4 and used to walk down to the school to cadge a lift home afterwards.

Can clearly remember seeing a 'scanner' unit on the old apron and subsequently noticing the Plessey logo on the active item on the a/f.

Circa ;ate 74 or early 75?
