#OTD 26th February is the anniversary of the ‘Daventry Experiment’ which lead to the creation of Radar and the birth of the UK Air Defence System.

Slightly ahead of the anniversary,
I’ll be remembering the three firefighters who lost their lives in the fire at RAF Neatishead on 16th February 1966.
I went through RAF West Drayton in 1987 and we learned about it on our training course.

After radio communications were lost for more than 30-minutes, the incident was reported by NATS.
I’m hoping that the QRA was launched before 30 minutes had elapsed…
