Radar operators from World War II have returned to the world's first working military radar station for a reunion and open day.
Bawdsey Research Station at Bawdsey Manor, near Woodbridge in Suffolk, hosted the event on Saturday.
Wally Morton, a former radar operator, said the technology had been invaluable to the RAF in the Battle of Britain.
He said "it would have been impossible for them to defeat the Luftwaffe" in 1940 without the use of radar.
Mr Morton added: "As Churchill said, never had so many owed so much to so few, but without radar, those boys would not have been able to do their job."
