=== English Chains ===

Post-World War II the RAF re-sited two of the three wartime Gee chains in England. Eastern and South Western chains (four stations each) and Southern chain of three stations. The Southern chain became a four station London chain and Eastern chain became a Midland chain. This was planned for 1948.<ref name=scotgee>[http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1947/1947%20-%201804.html "Scottish GEE Chain"], ''Flight International'', 10 October 1947, p. 450</ref>

==== Other chains ====

A chain of Gee stations was opened after the war in North Germany. Stations were at [[Winterberg]], [[Bad Iburg]], [[Nordhorn]] and [[Uchte]].

There were several stations during the 1955–59 period that appeared to be more of a deception than really operational. They were 550 SU at [[Fort Spijkerboor]] outside of [[Purmerend]], Holland; 889 SU at [[Eckernförde]] in North Germany; and 330 SU outside of [[Ingolstadt]] in Bavaria, Germany. These stations were rarely if ever operational in the late 1950s. 330Su was an amalgamation of 3 units 330. 259 and 953 signals units and was in continuous operation at Ingolstadt from May 1958 to September 1961. The other 2 units forming this chain were at [[Oberkirchen (Schmallenberg)|Oberkirchen]] and [[Schleswig]]. All three had particular attractions: Ingolstadt had access to the main US Army [[Post exchange|PX]] in [[Munich]]. Oberkirchen was close to the [[NAAFI]] winter sports center and Schleswig was on the dunes by the nude bathing area.
