Your stories and pictures so far

From Steve Burrows:
I (and my co-author) are both re;red police officers. We have wri_en some 15 books,
fic;on & non-fic;on and have a website www.bos;nbooks.co.uk if you are interested. (Bit
of a ‘bucket-list’ enterprise)
I’m interested in your aims with the radar website? I am a historian by qualifica;on, live in
Worcester and became interested in TRE for two reasons:
Firstly, I s;ll work part-;me for the Home Office and ‘hot desk’ at Defford airfield in the
West Mercia Police compound there. I became aware of the history of the site and it
seemed nobody had wri_en an account in book form for many decades, so I did.
Secondly, un;l recently, my daughters worked at Na;onal Trust Croome Park so I visited the
RAF Museum there.
I also have a friend who was a radar scien;st and lived and worked at Malvern in the 70’s &
80’s and advised on both books in terms of the science involved.
I empathised with your views about the forgo_en heroes of TRE and Malvern. It is a
na;onal disgrace that the site has been demolished without any a_empt to preserve the
history and one of the main reasons for wri;ng the books was to capture and preserve
memories from the dwindling band of those who worked there, and at Defford and
Pershore. I have met a number of wonderful and inspiring nonagenarians during the
wri;ng.
