Madliena, Thank you for your information, I think that the Radar at Dingli was RAF No 203 which was positioned near Tal -Pitkali. It stood behind the Restaurant on Dingli cliff. No 504 col ames was further down the cliff beside the AFM surveilance tower. if you walk out from dingli village you come to the road junction at the tower , to your left is the present white radar dome for civilian traffic . on your right at the corner is the old barracks where my dad and his colleagues were stationed, these are now houses for the maltese people. turn right and walk about 100 yards ( walk on the cliff top ) you will see a building with a hole in the roof that was 504 col from May 1943 till June 1944. stand on the cliff in the middle of the building and turn around to face the road. on the road in front of you from nov 1940 till april 1943 there was 2 buildings , a tx building for the transmitter and generator and a rx building which had the receiver and a small plotting area. behind the wall stood the radar gantry which had the radar array. my dad joined the crew in London in September 1940 and travelled with the crew to Malta and was on the top part of the cliff radar site till May 1943 then was moved to Egypt . The other radars i think were No 501 at Fort ta Silg and 841 at Wardija. if you are in Malta hope you got to the open day at dingli radar last march .
