At 5:50 or so you remark on Watson Watt's team 'proving radar worked'. If you check the historical records you will find that Hulsemeyer made such a demonstration in 1904 in Germany. To set matters in context, the Orford team developed a ground-based air defence radar system which did indeed prove crucial during the Battle of Britain, and no-one can deny that. But they certainly didn't prove that radar worked! Please check the facts before passing on the popular misconceptions!
