Heritage Centre (in Swanage, Dorset, UK)
now hosts a small exhibition about early radar
in the UK. This is just a few
miles from the sites at Worth
Matravers where significant radar development
took place from 1940 - 1942. The exhibition
includes: |
| |
| - |
wall panel with photographs, |
| - |
portfolio folder of display panels, |
| - |
an interactive computer display, |
| - |
booklets published by the Purbeck
Radar Museum Trust. |

| The exhibition was created by Sq Ldr Mike Dean MBE from his
extensive collection of photographs and
other material. It is based on the
previous exhibition he installed at the
Worth Café & Craft Centre in June
2006.
The Worth Café exhibition was officially
opened by Sir Bernard Lovell on Monday
17th July 2006. Photographs of the
opening ceremony and a transcript of the
opening speeches can be viewed by
clicking the thumbnail to the right.
The
interactive computer display was created
by Phil Wyatt and the exhibition
received grant funding from the National Lottery Awards
for All scheme.
The Radar
Trust is exploring alternative
arrangements for making the full scale
exhibition available to the general
public. If you have offers or
suggestions please contact
the Trust. |
