I spent an afternoon at Croome Court (National Trust) with SWIMBO this week, and we visited the small museum devoted to RAF Defford, the adjacent airfield that was used during and after WW2 by the TRU. I confess I hadn't known about this base, and had an enjoyable chat with a couple of volunteers who'd been stationed at the base during the '50's. They also have a bomber Canberra cockpit on display. Also in the museum they have a display of 1/72 models of most of the planes that flew out of the base, testing radar and ecm systems.
Ferranti Blue Fox Radar: Someone can help me ?
Hi, I'm building an Airfix SHAR FRS.1, 1/48 scale, and want to open the nose and make the Ferranti Blue Fox radar from scratch, but it's too much dificultly to find pictures of this radar and the open nose position. For example, i don't know if nose opens for a side or up... Searching in Google, i found some pictures, but i'm not right if they represent correctly the radar used on FRS1. These are some pictures i found (and i think are not the radar i want ): If someone knows about it and has some link or picture to share, i really appreciate. I'm searching in the forum, but not find any topic yet. Thanks !
