Link Room Display Part III ……..
Continuing with our Link Room displays we also have two more areas of interest, these are:
Navigation Equipment.
Under the benches lining the gangways is a collection of Navigation equipment ranging from compass, map and watch, through WW2 electronics such as GEE and Loran to almost current equipment.

Virtual Radar
When the area is operating there is a virtual radar display showing commercial flights in the area as symbols on a map and a list of activity over the last hour or so. Military flights show identity but not position. There is much more up there than you realise.
