Two things. Firstly, nice to see Lord Clayton of Somerset on Pprune. The terror of the River Yeo........ And Spon is right - the mighty SHAR was good at some things but long-range pick-ups were not it. Compare it to an F-15 C with AN/APG-63 V(3) and its just laughable - I suspect the F3 Foxhunter had vastly better ranges - if only they could make up their mind who was supposed to use the radar and fire the missile/fly the plane etc. But as Timmy used to say - it was the Shiny Grey Fanny Magnet.
Secondly - NavalEye. Sea Dart is an in-service weapon. Lets keep the banter about it to a minimum before people start to dit on more than they should hey? Once its been decommissioned then we can tell everyone how good it was..............
