Re: 'Bob' Braham's Beaufighter Mk VI
Hi All
Re Beau fitted with AI Mk10/SCR720. AFAIK the only Beau fitted with SCR720 was one sent to the US to trial the set before we bought it. Yes we bought and paid for all the SCR720 that we had, after they had been modified to our requirements. Mr Oxby, I know exactly why your father was so pleased to get "a window seat" also in the earlier version of the Beau the cannon had to be reloaded by the nav/rad. How they handled 60 round drums of 20 mm ammo in that confined space in the dark is quite beyond me. Also I considered AI Mk 10 to be the bees knees compared to the later AI Mk21 (AN/APS57?) in the later marks of Meteor, except for the better range and discrimination afforded by the 3 cm waveband. (Sorry moderator, I am straying outside WW2)
