We reported recently a plan to mark the anniversary in 2010 of the historic “Daventry Experiment originally carried out on 26th of February 1935 by Robert Watson Watt and his technical assistant which in effect marked the birth of the development of radar in the UK which was to play such a vital role in the outcome of World War2. The recent re-enactment was organised by the Coventry ARC and Northampton Radio Society together with the help of several private aviation pilots who flew modern light aircraft to form the targets.
