Hi Natter,
Many thanks for sharing. I had no idea that the British knowledge was as detailled as that during The Battle of the Beams. Please note the initials R.V.J. no doubt refering to professor R. V. Jones, the author of Most Secret War.

Hi natter,
Are the last 2 pic of your post from 17. march 3.35 hour from K13?
On the pics there are some lines indicating HF parts such as a HF tube. I would say they are from a description sheet explaining the technical Details on the right site. Do you have all technical explanations for Knickebein?

As I posted: The photos are from Noto. I have no idea how many Knickebein-installations there were in the area.

Hi Natter,
Thanks for cover of the report.
So the pictures are from this report and are made after the germans have left Sicily
