Fascinating read, MAINJAFAD ... thank you.

Always grateful for the Bloodhound force for eventually giving ATC the jolly decent T82 radar to use in a more peaceful role, allowing Mil Area ATC to provide a better service in those relatively early days. It provided a step change in capability when compared with the T80 (slow, 4 rpm) and 264 (enormous blips at range), and of course shared use of the Scopies' T84/T85 (4 rpm).
