Worth Matravers/ RAF Renscombe Down

The area around the Dorset village of Worth Matravers was home to a number of radar units, the main one being called Renscombe Down, it consisted of a Chain Home (CH - Station 12) station with two 240ft. wooden masts on 'A-Site' and a Chain Home Low (CHL - Station 12A) station on the cliff top.  During the early part of the war these stations were involved in development work under the auspices of the Telecommunications Establishment.  This Establishment had been moved to Worth Matravers in May 1940 after firstly being evacuated to Dundee from its original location at Bawdsey Manor in Suffolk, where it was considered to too at risk from German attacks.  It was placed in  No 60 Group, parented by RAF Warmwell. 

On 17 February 1941, No 60 Group was split into Wings and it was allocated to No 76 Wing, which took over the parenting responsibilities.  Aircraft, for calibration duties were initially operated from Christchuch until facilities at Hurn became available.  As the sites around Worth Matravers expanded they began to attract enemy attention and an alternative location was sought, resulting in a moved to Malvern in May 1942.  The stations at Renscombe Down continued operation after the radar scientists left and the site was also used for the assembly and training of large numbers of radar and signals units prior to their dispatch overseas.  At the end of 1942 it was a dual-role station engaged on air reporting and surface watching.
