Sinking

[edit]
A 1941 RAF PRU photograph of the two Freyas at Auderville

According to the 1977 BBC TV series The Secret War, [1] the sinking of the Delight was reported back to Germany using the Enigma code which was then intercepted by the RAF Y Service and then decoded and read at Bletchley Park, revealing that Delight had been sunk with the aid of something called 'Freya' - this was the first mention the British had had of any German radar - the Freya system. The Freya station involved in the sinking was at Auderville and the actual Freyas used are pictured in the RAF PRU photograph at right.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.68.219 (talk) 16:51, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
