SeaJet bombing

Yeoman,

I was a technical photographer on the FRS2 trials, before various things & changes made it expedient to call it FA2.

It had uprated software for 'dumb' bombing compared to the FRS1 - mind you that was always being updated.

CCIP bombing was pretty accurate, about as good as it gets I should think ( can't give accurate figures, but let's say I wouldn't choose to moon at the pilot from the target position ).

Loft delivery was always an option, again being periodically updated, and of course particularly suited to LGB's.

Of course if it was still in service it would have a Sniper pod etc by now...

I don't know what software version the Indian Navy have, and I suspect they don't use the aircraft in that role, but must practice at it; I wonder if our very decent Indian contact could enlighten us ( I think I know his callsign, but as I'm not certain I just hope he reads this ).
