	History of the Atlantic Cable & Submarine Telegraphy - 1853 England - Holland Cable
		The shore end was spliced onto the cable aboard Monarch and the fleet set off from Orfordness at 9.00 am Monday 30 May with Monarch being towed by Goliath and HMS Adder leading the way.
		The course having been previously buoyed by Lieutenant Burstall in the Adder, the squadron left Orfordness at nine A.M., Monday week, the weather being in every way propitious, and the operation was conducted without the slightest difficulty, and a constant communication kept up with the English shore.
		The Monarch, loaded as she was with a dead weight so near her keel, rolled to an alarming extent, and great fears were entertained for the safety of the funnel, the chains of which parted.

	Orford Ness at AllExperts
		Orford Ness, described by a BBC documentary as 'half wilderness, half military junkyard', is a shingle spit on the Suffolk coast in Great Britain, linked to the mainland at Aldeburgh and stretching along the coast to Orford.
		Many of the buildings from this time remain clearly visible from the quay at Orford, including the distinctive-looking 'pagodas' which were designed to collapse in the event of an accidental explosion.
		Orford Ness is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public under the name "Orford Ness National Nature Reserve", though some buildings are closed off because of their advanced state of disrepair.

		Ostensibly their purpose was to work on the ionosphere, but their very secret agenda was to start the development of radar or, as it was called in those days, RDF (Radio Direction Finding).
		By the end of 1935 the small team at Orfordness had demonstrated not only that an aircraft could be detected by radar at distances well beyond the range of sound locators but also that its position could be measured in three dimensions.
		The work at Orford had been so promising that in December 1935 the Treasury sanctioned a plan to build five radar stations covering the approaches to London, the most northerly being Bawdsey and the most southerly South Foreland.

		On reaching the coast of England at Orfordness, at 800 feet, it was obvious that we could not make the airfield and it was decided that rather than crash land on land we would try to land on the beach, as near to the sea as possible.

		A group from the Radio Research Station at Slough left for Orfordness, ostensibly their purpose was to work on the ionosphere, but their very secret agenda was to start the development of radar or, as it was called, RDF (Radio Direction Finding).
		The group went to some old Air Ministry buildings near a small airfield which lay across the river Ore from Orfordness; it was a bleak, windswept place with a bombing range, bird sanctuary and lighthouse.
		Indeed, although Watson-Watt may not have been the first man in the world to invent radar he was the first man to apply it successfully to an urgent and important problem and at the right time.

		Please do not refer to momentary observations of the lighthouse beam from the East Gate as that is _irrelevant_ to the purported 2-mile-long "chase" of the lighthouse through woods and fields, which Easton claims.
		I have pointed out repeatedly that the Orfordness Lighthouse beacon was not visible for at least 1.9 miles of the 2 mile trek by the two different USAF teams of Dec 26 and 28, 1980.
		It is glaringly obvious that the UFO these teams followed on this course could not possibly have been the invisible Orfordness Lighthouse at about 83-96 degs magnetic on the left, or the Shipwash Lightship at about 162-165 degs magnetic on the right.
