Putting aside Dowdings belief in Spiritulism, everything about this man, epitimised the true heroic image ,of the traditional British HERO. Also, I am surprised that Keith Parks brilliant organising ability ,at this crucial historic time, was not given more time here. I did not know, that both great men, had been so disgracefully treated. It seems, the familiar 'old-boy ' network, was in full flow, and no doubt, Freemasonry.

@stevenhoman2253 That's far to rigid. We will never know, but, look at the benefits it gave the RAF. OR, what would be the scenario, without those benefits? WHEN were the planes coming? WHAT direction? WHAT formations? WHAT speed ? All this info, decided the size of our response, and when. The Luftwaffe Pilot 's main complaint was--'They were always there, waiting for us''. it was very disconcerting for them. We, didn't have to keep planes on patrol all the while, and THEY were often at their maximum range, for fuel. THOSE RADAR FACTS ARE, the winning benefits.

@rogerusa9696 AND, according to several gatherings over the years, of Military Historians, of ALL countries ,during WW2, allied and foe, concluded; Had Britain been invaded and lost, the Nazis would have won the war. The reasons are complex, and need seeking out, if there is doubt; BUT, just one remark, by former Soviet Union boss , Nikita Kruschev, underlines Britains Importance; In one of Kruschevs rants, at the UN, in the 60's, about Western beligerence, he warned'' On the first day, of WW3, that unsinkable Aircraft Carrier'' ( Britain), will be sunk'' ! This was a back-handed compliment, to the fact, that Britain had not only been a massive holding place, and Airstrip for US planes, AND, the jumping off point for the attack on Fortress Europe, without it, we could not have helped the Russians, ie no second front, or massive supply lines, WE ALL, would have been slaves.
