ackack Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I was given a complete trailer mounted radar station by BAE (formerly Marconi) in Chelmsford. It consists of a 20x20 waveguide antenna, roof mounted, a 6' high 19" cabinet full of cards, a microwave transmitter unit, lots of power supplies, panels, cables, 2 computers (old 286?) with various software and years of hand-written notes on the development and test results. Was used up to the early 90's. Trailer was WW2 but now scrapped. I have to find a home for it all or the lot will end up going for scrap( at least 200kg aluminium !)

MatchFuzee Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Have you asked the RAF Radar Museum? https://www.radarmuseum.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Any idea what the WW2 trailer was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackack Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 RAF museum weren't interested, they do don't have space or facilities to restore. Trailer was an A.A. No3 Mk2 or GL3, I have a complete one from 1943 nearing restoration completion, mechanically and electronically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 A shame that the museum wasn't interested. Some at the Defence Electronics History Society maybe interested. http://www.dehs.org.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
