Radiolocation stretches out far beyond Britains shores to send back warnings of
Radiolocation stretches out far beyond Britains shores to send back warnings of the approach of enemy aircraft. A headquarters, the radiolocators messages, and those of the Royal Observer Corps, are communicated instantly to RAF Operations Rooms where they are plotted on large table maps. The Radio Locators are maintained by highly skilled radio mechanics and manned by RAF and WaF Radio operators. Large numbers of these personnel are required by the RAF. Part of the intricate system which comprises each of these nerve centres of Britains air defence is illustrated in this series of photographs. But for the look of concentration on the faces of these girl plotters are the watching officers in the gallery, one would think that they were playing some ingenious game. A scene in an RAF Operations Room at Headquarters Fighter Command, Bentley Priory, Middlesex.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Radiolocation: Safeguarding Britain's Skies During WWII". This print captures a pivotal moment in Britain's air defense during the Second World War. Radiolocation, an advanced technology of its time, extends far beyond the shores to provide early warnings of enemy aircraft approaching. In this scene at RAF Operations Room, Headquarters Fighter Command, Bentley Priory, Middlesex in June 1941, the intricate system comes to life. Manned by highly skilled radio mechanics and RAF/WaF operators, these dedicated personnel play a crucial role in plotting incoming threats on large table maps. The messages from radiolocators and Royal Observer Corps are communicated instantly to ensure swift response measures can be taken. The image showcases a group of girl plotters fully immersed in their task with intense concentration. Though one might mistake it for an ingenious game due to their focused expressions and the watching officers observing from above gallery; make no mistake - this is serious business. As part of Britain's nerve centers for air defense during the Battle of Britain, these women contribute significantly to safeguarding their homeland against enemy attacks. Their dedication and expertise demonstrate how women played an integral role not only on the home front but also within military operations. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes during WWII. It symbolizes bravery, resilience, and teamwork that helped shape history while highlighting the vital contribution made by women serving in both Royal Air Force and Women's Auxiliary Air Force roles.
