'Puff' I think you are correct about the 727 video, it looks like an 'LR'. To the right of the radar the panel is blank and to the left you can just see the edge of the VLF Omega. RMX and RMN were both straight 200's and did some Pacific flying, NZ and lease to Poly etc. We had a problem with the Omega it would drop off in very heavy rain, ie tropical downpours etc. Something to do with the 'H' Field Antenna, can't remember now. The 'Department of Changing Names' thought this would not do for 'Ocean Flying' and made Ansett add a second Omega to the right of the radar. You know of course, what happened next, they would both fail in heavy rain! Kept our minders happy though, thats the main thing.
