I received my copy of Colin Dobinson's Building Radar today - it has been promised for quite a few years now.  As would be expected it is a very comprehensive history of the WWII radar network.  An appendix has a full listing with the AMES number and NGR for each site, first time that I have seen such a list.

Building Radar: Forging Britain's Early-warning Chain,1939-45

He has previously written books on AA Command and decoy sites.

We'll need to keep an eye out, and see how soon a kmz file appears, based on that appendix

Hallelujah. I've had it on order from John Smiths for three-and-a-half years...

I had AA Command on order but the shop went out of business.

Come to think of it, I never did get a reply from the organisation who actually publish the books.

My copy arrived today. I think 'superb' just about covers it.
