Hello,
I've just found this thread. I've been researching RAF AMES for a couple of years in particular 252 AMES which was on Crete at the time of the German invasion in May 1941.
I have some photos at home (I'm away for a couple of weeks) of another unit and in Egypt showing the equipment setup (type 9) portable radar which was used at this time consisting of two collapsible towers .
If anyone had family members involved with AMES then it would be great to hear from you.
Best wishes Chris

Great images Tubby, Thanks for sharing. I think "Eros in The Desert" could do with a bit of TLC. Why not put it on the Photo Restoration board, It is worth saving.
