so whats the guts with regards the new IRDS.
Did they get 5 new ones or just enough to cover frames when they go on board a ship.
So the other matter is, if they have spent money, probably quite afew dollars in gettng these new turrets, then does that say they are not getting the I models, or was this purchase planned quite a while ago.

I heard it landing at Wigram around 4.30pm (parked in the Museum hangar overnight?). I thought our G's had an IRDS from new.

It was being bought into service about the time I left 6Sqn in 2010. IIRC 3 were bought.

Apparantely these are new full HD versions. Do you know what the I models have fitted Les. How different are these to the ones on the P3K2 |

Sorry it was an older thread and you were filling in the details... I missed out on seeing the thread date - sorry. You are always buried in the media with information shared from all over the aviation world. One could say you were well read!  |
