It's a race against time as Boffins Robert Watson Watt and Skip Wilkins try to come up with solutions to the impossible problems of detecting aircraft and IFF (identifying friend or foe) before they succumb to the bleak conditions of Orfordness - or Hitler unleashes the might of the Luftwaffe and wipes out the RAF before the flying boys have got their socks on!.
But as they re-establish operations at Bawdsey Manor, and Churchill piles on the pressure, will Air Marshall Dowding retain his sanity long enough to be any help?
And even if they do find answers - who will operate the new Chain Home Stations now all the men are being called up?
With live music and a mixture of new songs and old favourites from the period, this is a chance, on this 80th Anniversary year of VE/VJ Day, to celebrate the amazing achievements of a small group of men and women who ‘saved the day’ and were a vital part of the victory.
