Towed Radar Decoy On The Typhoon.
I think I can tell you the following without giving too much away.
I was flying the other day with "Stumpy" Gusset - c/s Gannic Red 2 - over mid-Wales when I became aware that my Harley-Pugh Mk 3 "electrical device" was pumping out insistent "engaged" ringtones (Barry Manilow "Could it be magic") from my speaking tube.
"Yikes," I thought, "Airborne Chain Home has got me bang to rights innit.."
Quick as a flash, I put down my Readers Digest and, after warning "Stumpy", I deployed the Toad.. (as we chaps refer to it). This is a half size replica of the Typhoon that station workshops knocked up for us. By the way, it's big enough to carry 6 troops (a role we don't discuss). After unwinding all the cable the Toad was fully deployed and sitting approximately a cable's length behind me. I then selected 'max power' on the device. Jamming my good ear to the speaking tube I could tell from the fading sound of the Airborne Chain Home that the Toad radar cloaking device was working exactly as advertised.
Hope this helps.
