Royal Navy Museum of Radio and Radar
On-Line Presence



Sadly the magnificent HMS Collingwood Museum of Radio and Radar,latterly known as the Collingwood Heritage Collection(CHC) has been closed.

The Exhibits have been taken over by the National Museum of the Royal Navy and while safeguarded (for now) it is unlikely they will ever again be displayed as a whole.
To that end, the museum staff have established an on line presence displaying some of the museums exhibits, many documents and also the sorry story behind the closure of the museum.



 

Hi..... welcome to my vintage RACAL pages.

I have dedicated it to some of the superb equipment made by this company into the 1970's and 1980's.I have aimed this site at those who would like to know more about the many variations of equipment the RACAL have made during this period.The list is by no means complete and never will be..

All the information on this site is offered in good faith. I cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies. All the equipment featured on this site is from part of my own collection, nothing is listed that I do not own, If I don't have it it won't be on here. All photographs are also from my own collection except where indicated.

I have no connection with the RACAL/THALES company whatsoever.
