The ‘search’ radar, with a range 75–100 km, was installed on the roof of the ‘main’ operations building and on two adjacent towers were the height finder, and a back-up ‘search’. Recurring wind damage, and winter weather, led to the housing of the radars inside 15-metre diameter inflated rubber domes.
