The Dingli Radar was the first station in the Maltese Islands, mounted at Dingli Cliffs on 27th March 1939 to plot aircraft in the vicinity of Dingli Cliffs.The Radar also has an underground radar complex that was used by the British in the Second World War. This system was part of a triangulation arrangement, connecting Dingli Cliffs to Tas-Silġ and Wardija. Obtained information passed to the filter room at Lascaris War Room in Valletta, then forwarded to plotters who placed counters on a map. RAF fighters would then have been able to intercept enemy formations.
