Today we mark 100 years since the formation of the (Royal) Observer Corps.

It has been a real pleasure to meet and talk to just some of the many people who served in the Corps throughout its active life.

Today we thank all involved, and remember those who are no longer with us.

On this day in 1935, two men drove a van into a field near Daventry and proved that radar as an air defence system would work. The experiment they conducted helped win a battle in a war that had yet to start…
