Tail Warning Radars
P-51 Mustangs I flew in the Korean war had tail warning antennae mounted each side of the fin. Never did see the rest of the system and would like to know whether any complete systems were ever installed and did they work ?If so how effectively?
Later did some tail warning trials on the "Orange Putter" system on a Valiant. A little 3 inch scope on the instrument coaming would show a blip which grew in size as the range reduced and then the blip would sprout wings when the incoming was supposed to be close to a firing solution with guns.
Did "Orange Putter" reach the RAF Squadrons?
