It covers considerably more than the title implies. Available from the South American River but cheaper on AbeBooks

Thanks I'll see if I can find a copy. I wonder if Chris Gibson's recent book on RAF ground attack post war - Typhoon to Typhoon - covers this issue?
One aircraft that did get a retrofit of a TFR was the Vulcan in the 1960s. The set selected was American though it had a lower speed restriction than the Ferranti TFR.
I understand that the Ferranti TFR was proposed for the Phantom and the ground attack version of the Tornado. In the latter case it lost out to a cheaper American radar.
