RADAR Trainers (1943)
- 4 years ago
Telecommunications and Research Establishment (TRE) came to Malvern in May 1942.
There were two main areas of operation in Malvern.
One was based in the school buildings of Malvern College, and hastily erected huts in the grounds.
This is where TRE carried out its research.
The second base was at Pale Manor in Malvern Link.
Here members of ADRDE (Air Defence Research & Development Establishment) undertook research. Malvern scientists worked closely with RAF Defford. Aircraft tested the latest radar equipment and many planes could be seen arriving and departing from the ‘hidden’ runways at Croome Court.
