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 the World Wide Web |
| The Penley Radar Archives website has the
same indexes and summary information as the CD-ROM version.
Only a few of the full scanned documents are
available on the www website. The CD-ROM has
electronic versions of the scanned documents in Adobe
pdf format, and is
available via the Purbeck Radar Museum Trust - see: www.penleyradararchives.org.uk/request. |
