Air-to-air gunnery exercise 1, if I recall correctly?

Attempting to shoot at the flag towed by a Meteor. At least, that's what it was when I was at Brawdy in 1975/6.

In those days we needed the radar for ranging - we weren't taught 'pegged' ranging.

WG was strafe, WB was bombing and I think WR was SNEB rocketry? WC cine weave, and WBG was composite strafe and bombing - can't remember whether there were composite strafe and rocketry exercises.
