Attended courses in radar in landidno, then I had three months at the polytechnic in london in 1942, then went to Landidno and became a technical instructor in fire control (tifc).

Having passed my course, I went to Dover, and then in Septermber, 1942, I went to Plymouth, Hamoaze House which was then corps headquarters, we were then responsible for all the costal radar stations on the west coast of Devon.
