I have just come across your site while looking at Clee Hill etc. In September 1947, I was at Daventry for a fortnight or so prior to going on my Radar Mech’s course at Yatesbury. Thank you for filling in some gaps in my knowledge of Radar, generally. If any of my short-term chums at Daventry are still alive, I would love to hear from them.

we had exactly the same problem! even once we had a new modem we still struggled to get any kind of speed! turns out we were paying for the old NTL rate of 2mb broadband for £20 per month, instead of £15 a month for 10mb! useless!

Thanks for taking the time to write.

Unfortunately I don’t have any info AFAIK on Poling Radar Station. The info on Truleigh Hill was copied from an old site which had fallen into the internet ether, so it’s not really my work. I re-published it with the permission of the original author Howard Toon.

I’ll have a look through some of the books I have here and see if there’s any info I can find for you, but I don’t think there’s anything there.

Best wishes

Nick

Hi i dont know if you can help me, i am trying to get information on any aspects of Poling Radar Station.
I would be most interested on any old maps showing its exact position.
I used to walk past the masts when the family used to go out for one of its many walks many years ago.

i dont know if you could give me some pointers, all i can seem to find on the internet are phots of the masts an the years it was operational.

Same here, since the 10mb upgrade our connection doesn’t stay up for more than an hour or two, nighttime is when it is at its worse.
