A large circular CRT in front of the plotter
Any clues? And was also surprised to see a huge fuel panel by the Nav-rad, a co pilot responsibility on the other Vs. The sextant mount was WAY up in the roof. What on earth did you have to stand on to use that?
Any Valiant Nav kit experts out there??
I'm also an ex-Vulcan nav radar, but I seem to remember that Victor tanker nav rads had a hand in refuelling activities. Tankertrashnav would be the man to shed light on this.
