The Memorial window, unveiled on the 7th June 1992, commemorates the many Service and civilian aircrews who lost their lives in radar development flying duties between 1936 and 1976.The Radar Research Squadron's parent Establishment created between 1935 and 1939 the world's first radar managed defence system. This was fundamental to our victory in the Battle of Britain in 1940, and was one of the many British radar systems to transform air power and earn the nation's gratitude.The unveiling marks the anniversary of the worst tragedy when a Halifax aircraft carrying the prototype of the first ever ground mapping radar bombing aid crashed near Goodrich Castle, killing all eleven on board. This navigational bombing aid made possible effective strategic air power, while its maritime derivative saved the British Isles from total isolation by submarines. Together both versions allowed the assembly of large military resources in Britain that enabled the Allies to liberate Europe in 1944/45.They applied the frontier of scientific knowledge to the salvation of their country
