RAF Pocklington, HFDF Station Diary

This incredible document was scanned and sent to Frontline Ulster by Mr. G Harris who inherited the diary from his dad who worked at the station and is photographed at the site. Geoff has kindly given me permission to reproduce the diary on this site, and I have made it available for the wider historic community to view.

The diary is contained within a Signal Office Diary, Book 5, and covers the dates between 24/09/1944 to 19/01/1945. Many of the requests come from friendly aircraft seeking to get a fix on their location. The station operated three shifts daily, over a 24 hour period.

For more information on early Second World War aircraft direction finding, you can read my two articles on understanding the HFDF system and locating the sites.
