Add Heritage Lectures 2024: Battle of the Beams and Bernard Lovell to your Itinerary

Heritage lecture,
Battle of the Beams and Bernard Lovell

A brand-new series of Heritage Lectures in our Space Dome.

Discover hidden histories and surprising stories as leading scientists, archivists and historians reveal Jodrell Bank's 80-year tale of intrigue, resolve and radio waves.

In the Second World War, the population on both sides knew they needed air supremacy. What most did not realise is there was another secret battle – for airwave supremacy. This talk is about the radio war. It is about the men and women who fought to win control of the electromagnetic spectrum, to make radar and defeat radar, to guide planes to their target and divert planes from their target. It is about the scientists – including Jodrell Bank's own Bernard Lovell – who sought to see using invisible light, and about the agents, commandos and pilots who fought to get them the information they needed.
