Sea Harrier and Blue Fox info

[sharmatt]

Hello there! (first post and all that!)

I hope someone can help me, I am looking for more information regarding the Blue Fox radar, as used in the Sea Harrier FRS.1 during the Falklands.

I understand there were 4 modes, AA, AG, Boresight and Sea, and it had a variable range and tilt. I'm wondering if anyone knows how the pilot operated it (changed modes and operated the tilt) and how the information (altitude and closing speed for example) was relayed back on the display and/or HUD? If anyone had access to any operational documentation on its operating parameters and procedures (surely declassified by now?) and could help me out I'd be very grateful!

Also I have seen that the Harrier has warning lights on the top of the instrument panel, that differ in colour, some red and some blue and was wondering if anyone knew which lights were for which warning? In fact any more info (or directions towards info!) regarding the cockpit of the FRS.1 that would help me out greatly!


thanks in advance...
