The evening/night watch set up the target and checked with their opposite station. This was usually completed about an hour before zero- the controller having checked the equipment with the 1/C mechanic and the target setting with the WAAF 1/C watch. He then sat at the main tube and controlled the operation and he was also in contact with the opposite station. An operator watched on a second CRT to ensure that the aircraft being worked was in contact at the correct time and place and another operator recorded all the operation happenings.

At Winterton these were three sites also another mark III along the coast at Scratby. After operations had finished and all was cleared up we returned to our billets. The day test runs over bombing ranges in East Anglia were usually controlled by operators but operations were done by a controller.
