  • @knoij33 is correct, this is not a layout of B 3/7 ADA, (later to become D 3/52) it more likely is a mock up of A 1/1 (later A 3/52) or 3/31 near Bremen( A German TAC Site if I,m not mistaken) . I was at A Btry 3/7 ADA as a 16E from April of 1982 to Late May of 1984, and had been to B & C Btrys' sites for CRT,s

  • @C45ACCTE Yes, we were on the Massbach Tac Site.

    

  • I was in D Btry 3/52 ADA from 1987 to 1989. ALL of our radar was towered. But, this is not the setup of our site.

  • @BKeppol Have reconnected with a lot of D 3/52 alumni on FB. Also there from jan 88 to aug 90.

  • @BKeppol Was your Tac Site near Massbach?

  • That definitely looks like B Btry 3/7 ADA, I was a 16E @ A Btry from 1 April 1982 to late May 1984(Note, I believe B 3/7 later became D Btry 3/52 ADA

  • 3 / 31 in Bremen Oyten was also hawk towered.

  • the Dutch 420 Squadron. The ONLY HAWK site with equipment towered.

  • Granted this reply is a year later, but 3/52 ADA HAWK which was based in Schweinfurt, Germany before they deactivated also had their radars in towers.

  • @knoij33 Not true. B Btry 3/7 ADA had all of its radars on towers. Launchers, BCC and ICC were on ground near crew building.
