Aren't the majority of operational Brit mil a/c and airfields now equipped with ILS, rendering RPAR an unnecessary/expensive/labour intensive luxury (if it worked!) ?
No, I'm afraid they aren't. Of 27 military airfields with precision approach facilities, there are 58 PAR equipped runways against only 27 with ILS. Only 4 airfileds have dual ILS's; Aldergrove, Brize Norton, Linton On Ouse and Llanbedr. Equally, there are 5 airfileds with PAR only; St Athan, Culdrose, Topcliffe, Wittering and Yeovilton.
