No sirs, FIDO was a system of paraffin burners on the final approach to a runway which were supposed to heat the air up enough to disperse fog and allow aircraft to land. The system was certainly installed at Manston and Marham but removed a few years after the second war. You did not want a fuel leak on finals.
