RAF Cocklaw, WWII Chain Home Low radar station (1)

Chain Home Low Station: EDoB ID: e25256
Transmitter/Receiver Block
Chain Home Low radar was introduced to overcome the significant gaps in low level cover of the standard Chain Home radar system. CHL was effective at detecting aircraft below about 500 feet, and unlike CH radar, used a rotating antenna often mounted on the roof of the Tx/Rx building. The CHL station at Cocklaw opened in 1941 and was still in operation in 1945. The large concrete block seen on the roof of the Tx/Rx block presumably was the plinth on which the antenna was mounted.
