Canada's role in the Development of early Military Radar
by
As I write I am expecting delivery of your DVD, Spies who lost the Battle of Britain. The indifference from official Govt agencies is not unlike that shown in Canada to matters pertaining to Radar. I have had no success in creating concern that an example of the first mobile centimetric anti aircraft gunlaying radar..{the GL III(c)} to be put into mass production by the Allies in WW II lies neglected in an open storage yard out on the Canadian Prairies.If this was a gutted hulk, as are most military mobile radars from this era it may be understandable. However,for reasons which are not fully known, this artifact is in fairly reasonable shape with many of the original pre solid state component racks still in place.It would not require large public funded project to properly preserve and carry out some cosmetic interior restorations. This example of a GL III (c) radar is almost cetainly the only one of the 667 units manufactured in WW II still in existence. It has special historical significance as being the starting point of the microwave technology industry in Canada that followed WW II.
