Deep in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside lie a number of
secret places that played a special part in protecting a generation
from the onslaught of a world war. Travellers passing through leafy
Worcestershire lanes may catch a glimpse of a structure that seems
out of place against the backdrop of fields and hills – the dish
of a gigantic radio telescope. How did such an incongruous
structure arrive in the middle of nowhere, and what does it do?
This book answers the question, and recounts the dramatic history
of two 'Top Secret' wartime airfields, and how their activities
were inextricably linked to the 'boffins' of the Malvern
Telecommunications Research Establishment. It tells the story of
brilliant inventions, wartime courage and sacrifice, tragic air
crashes, and ordinary and extraordinary people, pushing themselves
and their machines to the limit and beyond. Crafted using personal
recollections – the book reveals the truly extraordinary wartime
commitment and camaraderie that fuelled extraordinary endeavour and
achievement.
