Moon Signal and Gun Mounting Drama Over Thames
Royal Artillery troops under Captain Eilat installed a radar reflector on an anti air craft gun mounting atop a tower beside the River Thames at Selsey. The operation, described as tricky, involved hoisting a six ton mounting to the tower and securing the job by 28 men. Signals to the moon were planned as pulses of light or Morse dots. The event was framed as a festival-like demonstration with timing around a small delay in message relay.
