This was sent to the WS 19 list as an attachment by Dayha777 at aol.com and I have
reformatted it so it will post properly.

Please contact him for any further information. It appears to be some kind of
vote on which location should be restored by the BBC in connection with a TV
show

                 Here is some information about Bawdsey and its role in the
development of RADAR.


Not the most picturesque building in the Restoration Project but the only one
that has saved lives.  Before and during World
War 2 this was one of the most important buildings in England.

The Transmitter Block is on the Bawdsey Manor Estate where the famous physicist,
Sir Robert Watson-Watt and his team
developed RADAR to the point where it became an operational reality.  Without
the work done at Bawdsey we would have
lost the Battle of Britain in 1940 and the outcome of World War 2  would
probably have been very different.

Many WW2 buildings are rapidly being lost.  Please help us to preserve this one,
so that a fitting tribute can be set up to all
those who dedicated so much to this vitally important invention.
