The RAF had operational radar stations at
Worth Matravers - the main site also going under the
name of Renscombe Down:
A Chain Home (CH) station with two
240ft. wooden masts on 'A-Site' (see Purbeck
section) and
a Chain Home Low (CHL) station on the
clifftop.
These stations continued operation after the radar
scientists left in May 1942. After the war, the
sites were used by the RAF as a training station. |
