We did assign patrol areas and we did get a couple of "radar" messages when the LW were near our aircraft but its all too late by then, especialy if its after they have bombed the target. Its pure chance that the patrol line will be at the right spot at the right time (we only had four pairs to cover the whole SE coast from Brighton to Ramsgate). Its not even as good as the Observer corps.

No doubt about it, without radar we would have lost the BoB. We would have been no more effective in the air than we were in France and you know how that finished up.
