I guess that the £2500 price still stands after you add VAT, fitting and a short man from the ministry coming over to sign your piece of paper.

I've had a go at a Red Arrows type smoke generator on my Healey. Injects dirty diesel into the exhaust pipe about 10 inches below the exhaust valve. Makes a lovely puff of smoke. I noticed the Arrows dropping puffs as they turned base leg. Makes them quite visible. Probably better than Mode S, anyway.

Any ideas on the current/wattage of the current Mode S systems? Are we talking AA batteries or a fat one from a burglar alarm?

Are new Mode A/C fitments banned in the UK? I recall hearing something to that effect. Seemed a little.....y'know.....unwise to stop adding them especially as they've become so cheap on the secondhand market.
