This establishment trained Royal Air Force apprentices and other ranks in the black art of radio location. The featured radar scanner was U.S. equipment and nick-named the "Nodding Horror" due to its frenetic motion. The green huts in the distance were the airmen's billets. The photographer had just finished his 28 week training course and was due for posting.
