Radar
memorial at Worth Matravers erected 2001 |
The development of Radar was crucial to the success of the
UK in the Battle of Britain and continued to swing the balance in
World War II until the Allies were ultimately successful.
From May 1940 to May 1942, pioneering research into Radar was
undertaken at Worth Matravers on the South coast of Dorset.

| Bill Penley
(1987) |
|
Over recent years Bill Penley has obtained personal reminiscences,
photographs and reports from a number of the talented scientists involved
in the early work on radar. This material was supplied in response
to requests circulated in the early 1990s. He is assembling these
into the ‘Penley Radar Archives’ for the benefit of future
researchers.
Some of the documents and photos from the Penley Radar Archives have
been scanned to make them available electronically - both on CD-ROM and
via the World Wide Web.

Penley Radar Archives on CD-ROM |
| The Penley Radar Archives CD-ROM has the same indexes and summary information
as the website. The CD-ROM also has electronic copies of
those documents that have been scanned in Adobe Portable Document Format (pdf). The
Adobe pdf reader can be downloaded free from www.adobe.com.
