Summary

Description

The low-UHF band Würzburg radar was the primary ground-based gun laying radar for the Luftwaffe and the Wehrmacht Heer during World War II. It entered service in 1940 and over 4,000 were built. This example was originally installed on the Norwegian island of Vigra, Ålesund, but was moved after the war to Nordlysobservatoriet in Tromsø. After being stored at Gardermoen it was moved to Sola and restored. It remains on display as part of the Flyhistorisk Museum, Sola, Norway.
