Quote No-one has a full 360 degree radar but the RN (2 flights) and the RAF (6 flights) have a radar with the scanner mounted behind the MRGB on the spine which gives a 330 degree view (15 degrees blind arc either side of the nose)
So your saying this is a great radar apart from the fact you can't see where your going
A radar on the nose has to be a better than that

I'm sure there are some SeaKings going around with both systems just not British now that would be better.
Must have run out of money when it was asked for eh J
Also is there not a small arc at the rear of the aircraft that the radar can't see.
