Dragon 79:

Don't worry about any late delivery of Wedgetail - it's not a capability gap......


Because we have never had that capabilty......



I still remember sitting through a brief by Grumman (it was then from memory) explaining the capability of the E2 at Williamtown in 1976 or 77!!!!

They had a trailer parked on the base with a radar head (SSR only IIRC) on top and E2 displays inside the trailer, and we were watching traffic into and out of Sydney.
