    Default RAF Stenigot Radar Station – Lincolnshire

    RAF Stenigot was opened in 1940 as a Chain Home radar station it provided air warning for raids from Luftflotte V and the northern elements of Luftflotte II along the approaches to Sheffield and Nottingham and the central midlands. It was built to the East coast design, the same as as the experimental radar establishment at Bawdsey in 1936 consisting of a protected transmitter and receiver block with transmitter aerials suspended from four 350' steel towers and the receiver aerials mounted on four 240' timber towers. The operations blocks of an east coast CH are classified as Type A with a 5' 6" layer of shingle on the roof to disperse blast and earth banks around them.
