Radar ranges

Does anyone know the range (approximate) of radar during March 42?,especially around Britain and Gib.The reason I need to know this is,after drawing my usual rings around those areas,earlier I thought I was out of the RAF zones and decided to make a run on the surface during daylight.I was wrong as 2 bombers appeared at about 180 degrees forcing me to crash dive.I have scoured the internet regarding all the different versions of radar,mkI,mkII and so on but cant seem to find the exact figures I am after.
Naturally I need to know the range in km and not miles.And speaking of miles,I have the conversion of miles into km at about 1.6,is that right?.
Oh,I also wouldnt mind the attack ranges of bombers during this period.

Cheers lads
