But has anyone got any photos of the Stage 2 in all it's Heath Robinson glory?

Did the RAF ever get a version of the RN's HAAT? Helicopter Airborne Acoustic Trainer.
Your HAAT is a version/development of ACT, or ACT2 that is the current version.

PTR175

We had antennas on the roof of the bay which we attached 15053 or 15054 buoys too, as and when we got a phone call about stage 2 or was that something else
I think that was related to Stage 2, but not part of it. I seem to recall that we had to to a signal cal. before starting. Any wet men fill in on this one?

The buoy(s) you refer to could have been the radar reflector buoy in D201 and there were other range related buoys around the coast.

Just so the "youngsters" are understand, Stage 2 ended when the MK1 Nimrod went out of service. ACT was fitted to the MK2 and obviated the need for it.
