Radar at Binbrook 1951

Mailing old friends at Binbrook recently, I rediscovered Ray Whiteley's memorial site RAF Binbrook Heritage Centre. Among much interesting material you will find Alan Dowling's account of his National Service as a radar operator, complete with pictures of DF vehicle with what appears to be a huge TV aerial on the roof. Other vehicles include Ford V8 and Austin 6x4 which I can remember parked at the side of Binbrook's control tower, alas long gone.
