AA (Anti Aircraft ) Radar No 3 Mk 7..UK designed and built.. deployed as a Fire Control radar with HAA units (Heavy Anti Aircraft ) in the post WW II period. Sold to many friendly countries. Often used in conjunction with AA Radar No 4 Mk 6 (Canadian ) as a Tactical Control radar on both static and mobile AA gunsites..sometimes referred to,as the search radar. That square trailer in the background under the tree could well be an MZPI No 4 Mk 6..Zippy to the RA bird gunners.
Probably dug in to prevent detection from the air and blast protection effects. Ground clutter would have been intolerable if tracking low flying aircraft. Lots of info on the net re this equipment. Nice restoration being undertaken at the Duxford Imperial War Museum. Made obsolete in the era of SAM's. Used for tracking on the Womera missile range in Aus.

Noel,
Re post 9 AP2782A gives its purpose as a Radio Approach Aid. The vehicle carried VHF for ground to air communication, VHF/DF for initial location and positioning and manually operated radar for its final plotting. hth David Molyneux
