Right on the money! The two big pieces are sound collectors (OK, acoustic locators), used to locate formations of aircraft by their sound from much farther away than the naked ear could, and the rest are various pieces of ranging and plotting equipment to use with them. (I will be doing some research myself for specifics)

Greta, that Ringtrichterrichtungshoerer sounds good. :grin:

Any plan to get those sound mirrors on the south cost of Kent, just a mile east of the aerodrome of Lydd.

Thanks Oleg to give a heads up. ;)

Didn´t know such things existed for detecting aircraft, i thought that detection was done by radar, and the good old fashion eyeball, on the ground or in the air. :)

Perhaps there was some variation in production (unlike London Bridge)? ;D

Just a guess

If I recall correctly they were used by the Vietnamese to detect the fascists’ helicopters’ during the American War.

If I remember correctly, the 'Chain Home' RDF system used in the BoB only worked out to seawards, so accoustic and visual systems were essential too.

Just further evidence that we are on the verge of the richest wartime simulation EVER- in any genre.

Oleg, do you guys prefer a full statue or just a bust? A landmark event like this deserves a landmark!

Wow! You learn something new every day. :lol:

I was actually thinking about this earlier. A Stele might actually be more appropriate. It would be modest in size and wouldn't require carvers (other than the standard tombstone cutting tools). It could have a nice engraving describing Oleg & companies many victories.

(For those who don't know what I'm talking about read through: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stele )

Very interesting.
I was not expecting to see stuff like this, but then again, I have always said to expect the unexpected with BoB.
Thanks for the update, Oleg.
