"We sometimes get people on tours who feel that this site glorifies war and weapons, but we are presenting what happened not whether it was right or wrong," says Glen Pearce, the National Trust's operations manager at Orford Ness. "I often say to them the mobile phone in their hands or the smartwatch on their wrist may have been developed from the work carried out here." "It is important that people understand what happened at sites like Orford Ness and Bletchley Park and how important they were," says Sue Black, a British computer scientist who was awarded an OBE for her successful Saving Bletchley Park campaign. "So they can celebrate the dedication, hard work and sacrifice of the people who worked there, and their contribution to peace. It helps to keep us grounded and realise what is important in our own lives." Orford Ness was part of a network of institutions that stretched as fair as Australia, including the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough near London and the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment. "Orford Ness was rather like a modern-day science park," says David Warren, a member of the Independent Research Group Orford Ness (Irgon), a small group of volunteers who are interested in the military trials that took place at the site. "One government department came in, built something for some trials, and then went home. Then a new department would come in, and either reuse the same buildings, or build something new." Some of the work undertaken at Orford Ness was truly ground-breaking But it was a science park with a difference. It operated on a need-to-know basis. "I would get a basic drawing of a piece of a missile," says a veteran who asked not to be identified. "I obviously knew it was for testing, and I could guess that it was going to hold high explosive, but I didn't know anything else, like its mission. I was never even told if it worked." Some of the work undertaken at Orford Ness was truly ground-breaking. In the early hours of 17 June 1917, three planes from Orford Ness took off, at least one of which was equipped with some of the first night flying instruments. Their mission was to shoot down the first of a new type of German Zeppelin designed to fly too high for Britain's anti-aircraft guns to hit â and they succeeded. The huge craft crashed in flames on the edge of the Ness. The scientists at Orford Ness had to answer questions that had rarely been asked before, such as how to avoid stalling and spinning (which claimed the lives of many inexperienced pilots), fly at night, jump out of a plane and live to tell the tale, take-off and land from a ship and shoot down a Zeppelin. Led by talented leaders like Henry Tizard, one of those who helped develop radar and would later become the Ministry of Defence's chief scientific adviser, their answers still define aerial warfare.

"These test pilots were incredibly brave, imaginative and resilient," says Pearce. "They were really starting from scratch, inventing new ways to test things and willing to take their chances." This line of work continued in the next war. In 1939 the German Luftwaffe (air force) seemed to be technologically superior to the Britain's RAF. So, British weapons were tested on captured enemy aircraft and captured weapons on British aircraft to close this gap. Some tests involved the Incendiary Tower, built to evaluate the impact of bullets into petrol tanks. The data was used to improve the designs of planes and weapons, and to tell RAF fighter pilots which parts of enemy aircraft to target. One engineer joked that he knew so much about German aircraft that he could have applied for a job in the Luftwaffe. It was dangerous work, and in war time, doubly so. A civilian technician was killed during one such test. The isolation of Orford Ness was vital to keeping secret the use of another revolutionary new technology From the 1920s to the 1960s, when the weather was good enough, Orford Ness played host to some of the most important tests in its history, when bombs of all sizes were dropped over the shingle and sea range. The casing of some of the biggest weapons in the British arsenal were tested, including the 12,000lb (5,400kg) Tallboy, or earthquake bomb, developed by famous British engineer Barnes Wallis, and the casing of Blue Danube, Britain's first nuclear bomb. Young women were employed as human computers to calculate the results. A photograph survives of four such women: the self-styled "Gang of Four" of Janet Robinson, Joyce Benynon, Maggie Downer, and Maggie Driver laughing and posing like film stars. At least one of them went on to become a bombing range controller at Orford Ness. The improvements to bomb ballistics gained by the research at Orford Ness arguably helped the Allies' strategic bombing campaign shorten World War Two. The science of bomb ballistics pioneered at the Ness led indirectly to the smart weapons used today Buy and Hold This Dividend Stock Forever...
