RAF Ringstead was part of the Chain Home and Chain Home Low transmitter/receiver radar. Started in 1940 but too late for the Battle of Britain it continued service until 1956 by then using the 'Rotor Radar'. In 1963 it was taken over by the USAF operating a Tropospheric Scatter System link but this closed down in 1974.
