EAST ANGLIA-VARIOUS SITES WITH REFERENCE TO GPO EQUIPMENT.
Eric F. Rust,
19 Marennes Cres.,
Brightlingsea,
Essex.
CO7 0RX.
01206 303079.

Worked for the GPO.
Types of Telephones:
For admin use the wartime telephone was the 232 with a combined bell set or a 162 with combined bell set. Many of the airfield telephones were the candlestick type-we scrapped hundreds of them (worth a fortune now!).

The Rotor (Radar) scheme telephones were the 332, these were scrapped in the late 1950s, superseded by the 700 type.

Lines fitted with a scrambler had green telephones, all others were black.

PBXs (exchanges) were normally 10 x 50 dolls eyes indicators. Bawdsey Rotor site had a V.A.X.12 for admin use, which was connected by level 'O' for outside calls by two lines to the admin PBX in the Manor (installed this myself).

The Operations Rooms used purpose built switchboards, fitted adjacent to the radar sets or built into desks or wall fittings as required. There was also an operations PBX, which I believe was a PMBX 1A (lamp calling).

The GPO Maintenance Group used a 3 + 9 keyboard PBX with exchange lines to Bawdsey JHX, the Manor PBX and direct to 'speaker' line to Ipswich Repeater Station and Trunk Subscriber Line to Ipswich manual board-all routed to give minimum interruption caused by cable faults etc, as were all the operations PWs (private wires).

I destroyed al my course notebooks long ago-those were the only source of information on specialised equipment.

Operations Rooms Clocks.
Are you aware that all the airfields, radar sites, plotting rooms etc were equipped with GPO colour change clocks? These were standard telephone exchange (pulse clocks) clocks driven by a master clock, which sent 30 second pulses. The dial of the RAF form was divided into 2 1/2 minute sectors of different colours. Plots were moved when the colour changed. Above each plotting table was a colour change lamp, which was also driven via a complex relay set from the master clock.
The operations clocks could be speeded up for exercise purposes. Thus a three week Atomic War sequence could be enacted in say three days of exercise-essential to simulate atomic fallout increase and decline.
The clocks, height calculators at the CH stations, colour change equipment and the panels for switching VHF channels, which allowed controllers to use various channels and more senior officers to broadcast on all channels were all maintained by the GPO engineers. The engineers were called up to the RAF during the war, but the work reverted to civilian staffing, post war.

SDHQ Landguard Fort.
I believe there was a plotting table in the SDHQ. I don't remember the dais (at the HQ and so can not recall any of the switching systems).

AAOR Left Battery Landguard.
The AAOR was never installed, while I was at Landguard, the equipment brought from the wartime site on South Hill (Q Tower, Felixstowe) was fragmented.
(has no recollection of a Nissen hut used for training purposes ). The AAOR was eventually built in an underground site at Mistley, later used as the County Council Control Room and lately open to the public.

Telephone Headsets.
The telephone headsets used were standard GPO sets. They used a plug No 404 a smooth plug with four terminals. Some headsets had a transmitter cut-out operated by pushing the mouthpiece forward to a horizontal position. These headsets were replaced by the lightweight set used in telephone exchanges circa 1957-I cant remember if this was done on the defence sites.

Defence Telephone Network.
The Defence Telephone Network was the subject of an Institution of Post Office Electrical Engineers (IPOEE) journal after the end of the war, there must be some copies available (possibly in the Library at Martlesham), otherwise contact the present distributors. Photographs in the journal would be useful to you.

Bunkers at Martlesham, Kesgrave & Trimley Heath.
I have been asked this question before, probably by Garry Ashwell (Garry is BT man writing a book on Radar Stations), I do not why there are rumours of a bunker being built after the close down of Trimley Heath.
There is a 'building 140' on Foxhall Road, which was used by the Americans as a communications centre. Originally built as a VHF transmitter controlled from the sector operations room at North Weald and later at Trimley. The VHF receivers were just off the Felixstowe Road at Bucklesham, both these sites were replaced by sites at Shottisham during the Rotor scheme.

I was involved in moving the wartime PBX site at Martlesham (in a house on the hill above the Red Lion [Public House]), back to one of the HQ buildings still existing close to the A12 road. I recovered 11 Group PBX when the site was closed, apart from the RAF recruiting office, I don't remember any underground sites.

As a schoolboy in 1942 I watched the Battle of Britain bombing of Martlesham, the date is well recorded in the history books. I happened to be on Purdis Heath near St. Augustins Church far enough away to be safe but with a fair view to see flames from the explosions etc, it was all open heath land then-unfortunately all built on today.

Colleagues.
Ray Shelton recalls that the SDHQ was involved in a Navy exercise, where frogmen attempted to capture it.

ESSEX WW1. EMERGENCY COMMITTIES WERE SET UP TO PREPARE FOR A POSSIBLE GERMAN INVASION (THIS WAS REPEATED DURING WW2). INITIALY THE COMMITTIES WERE KEPT SECRET, BUT LATER WERE BROUGHT OUT IN THE OPEN. IT WAS PROPOSED THAT MONEY IN BANKS & POST OFFICES ETC WOULD BE MOVED TO A SECURE SITE IN ILFORD, WHICH WAS LATER CHANGED TO HITCHIN. EVACUATION OF CIVILLIANS FROM AREAS OF INVASION WAS DISCUSSED IN GREAT DETAIL, THE ARMY WERE AGAINST THIS SCHEME ARGUING THAT STREAMS OF CIVILIANS ON THE ROADS WOULD IMPEDE THEIR MOVEMENTS. THE PLAN WAS TO MOVE PEOPLE OUT IN GROUPS ALONG BACK ROADS (WHICH THE ARMY WERE STILL AGAINST). IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT THESE PEOPLE WOULD REQUIRE WATER & FOOD ALONG THE WAY. IN SOME AREAS IT WAS DECIDED TO MAKE THE CIVILIANS STAY PUT, AGAIN AS IN WW2. HOWEVER THERE CERTAINLY EXISTED PLANS FOR EVACUATION & THERE IS A MAP OF NORTH-EAST NORFOLK SHOWING ROUTES (WW2).
