@Channel2Dg Do not worry @NATO will cover. Perhaps not. Rather should we not rapidly do a #Dowding & start restoring our Armed Forces to credible levels now, not in two years time @dstl @JohnHealey_MP @DefenceHQ @RUSI_org @thinkdefence @UKDefJournal

@OliverDowden @RishiSunak But you look and act like you are always just waking after a very long sleep #Dowding. You are a pointless article in politics. 👇🙄

In 1935, Robert Watson Watt & Arnold Wilkins used these transmissions to prove to the Air Ministry that radio waves could be used to detect aircraft, leading to the development of a defensive radar & the wider #Dowding System. 2/3

Recalling the Army’s heroic Pineapple Airforce in Hawaii, who wanted to set up air defenses based on the #RAF #Dowding system which had won the Battle of Britain the year before-Sadly defeatists #Kimmel & #Short, like French Vichy of 1940, did not prioritize defense.

For National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and the families who carry on their legacies. My dad, a Navy Signalman in World War II, was my first hero, and we laid a bouquet at the WWII memorial for him at the New Jersey pillar.

A superb short film from @RoyalAirForce that describes the role of radar, the observer corps & ground defences in the brilliant #Dowding air defence system during the #BattleOfBritain Radar is still a vital tool in today’s air defences #radarlove #DetectandDefend

Information was crucial in the Battle of Britain. After detecting enemy aircraft the RAF had as little as 4 minutes to coordinate a response. It did this through an ingenious network called the ‘Dowding System’. https://t.co/tKXBHSzICx #DetectAndDefend
