>>> and even Scimitars <<<.
Thanks, Jack, for mentioning the FAA and the much maligned Beast. Just a bit before it's time and then totally overshadowed by the Buccaneer.
We were using the technique with the Scimitar back in the early 60s when it was known as LABS, (Low Altitude Bombing System) this on "a certain rock" to the north of Scotland.
This entailled the use of a Toss Bombing computer plus Blue Silk, a Doppler radar, to deliver Red Beard, the necessity of course to "lob/toss" on the correct trajectory and then get going as fast as possible in the opposite direction !
