I absolutely love this quote from this 1st person source:

"Alas, the TR (Transmitter Receiver)1143 was not forthcoming 
 in time and the Battle of Britain was fought largely on HF
 with the old crystal-controlled TR9 with which I was still 
  battling as late as 1943! 
  By September 1940 only 16 day fighter squadrons had VHF...."

Take that, you VHF fans. ;-).
