Awesome! Of course most of us are familiar with the smaller radar sets and how they changed the Battle of the Atlantic, but I at least never put a face and name to it. Thanks for the link.

To all the heroes we don't know



How many have died and we never knew what they did.

(Of course back then people were a little better at keeping secrets)

There are probably thousands of people who "helped win the war" who no one ever knew about.
