The RAF Radar Museum has been given the green light to build a workshop to house a Second World War mobile radar unit thought to be the last of its kind left in the world.
North Norfolk District Council has given permission for the attraction at Neatishead in the Broads to build the new structure to house its Type 14 Mobile Radar unit.
Carl Lamb, a museum trustee, said the unit landed in Normandy on the first day of the D-Day, directing Allied aircraft towards their targets and warning of enemy fighters.
Mr Lamb said: "We're led to believe it's the only one left in the world. That particular radar went ashore on D-Day, on the first day of the battle, so it's obviously quite unique."
