TACAN circa 1970
Back in the early 1970s at 30MU RAF Sealand I was a Civilian Radio Tech working on TACAN.
Can anyone remember where the TACAN Coupling Unit was located on a Vulcan or a Lightning? Coupling Units, made by Smiths, were of two shapes. Either a Black Aluminium Box about 9 inches wide by 8 inches high by 5 inches deep, or the other shape, an aluminium chassis with a pressed metal rear and similar front. About 7 inches wide, 5 inches high and 5 inches deep, affixed with three screws. Both types had 4 dials on the front. I know that the Belfast had the diecast version, since for old times sake I have just bought one off eBay. The Smiths label has (Belfast) stamped on it.
Many thanks.
