MWF45 When Radar Came to Malvern, Tuesday 30 May
In May 1942 and in great secrecy, 2500 radar scientists were evacuated from the south coast to Malvern. Visit the key places involved, and learn about this extraordinary story from the Malvern Radar And Technology History Society (MRATHS).
Hear about the move, the effects on life in Malvern and the impact the scientists of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) had on the outcome of WWII. Many of those scientists became household names in their later careers.
The route is on pavements, with frequent explanatory stops, with some new insights to be shared.
