But that was mainly due to the SHAR FRS1 being very new and the crews having had little time to practise autonomous radar intercepts in single seat fighters with head sector 9 Limas....

Most Mx kills were eyeball shots which 9Gs could have been used for; however, it wasn't just the wider aspect capability of the 9Ls which made them so tasty!
