This was located at Canedon, near South end on Sea. I think there were 3 wooden towers each around 300 ft high. These were supposed to be the first operational radar installations in the UK. We had a monkey that used to climb the towers to change the antennas when necessary for our experiments. He had a G3LD* call could it be G3LDO. It was so long ago I cannot remember his callsign, he was not employed by my company but possibly came with the antennas. G3KEV
