How did the German bombers manage to get as far as Clydebank unchecked ?
Answer Dear Richard, The raid of Clydebank was taken on during the start of hostilities between England and Germany, the deployment of Radar was not ready at that time and that is the explination of how the Luftwaffe was able to cover so much air space, and most of the air defence and the Royal air wing was concentrated towards the lower isles to protect the key englsih cities and to thwart any attempt by germany to make an all out invasion of which the british intel had conformation about ( operation Sealion).
