South East post-war detectors

Pretty sure I read that these were positioned there because the only likely Post-WW1 enemy the RAF could think of was ... France.

The stiff upper lips of the newly formed RAF were 100% that morale of the Froggie civilians would collapse from bombing long before our sterling British civilians. But just to be sure, plans were made to deploy the army in working class parts of SE cities.
