Much later the commons defence committee asked a senior air force officer whether if we went to war he would prefer to be flying an F15 or an F3. When he answered F3 he was asked why and replied 'because it had an exceptional ECCM capability'. Yes, he was right - at that time it was the easiest radar in the western world to jam - you didn't even need a jammer to get into the F3 radar and wipe out plots.
Interesting. I am sure not in a position to comment as I know very little except what I read about the F3. And given the passion of this thread that is probably just as well.
