As an ex-OC Butcher Radar I can confirm that Belize's radar was an AR-1 (AT) for Air Transportable. However, it was pressed into service as an AD asset for compiling a Recognised Air Picture, conducting PIs and, on occasion, intercepting a certain DC-6 that would cut the corner of Belize's airspace to 'make a point'. We had 2 FCs on establishment to undertake these tasks.
