A nice photo that would have been most usefull of late. A few further questions for the Air Defenders if I may: I would like to paint a similar painting that includes either AEW Shackleton or Canberra T17 along with a fighter that will probably be F4.
Are there any circumstances when these aircraft would have joined up at altitude or were they autonomous operators?
Is 'Chaff' visible at height?
Did the T17 execute any dynamic manouvres when playing?
If civilian airliners were used for PI; how close to the airliners would a fighter get?
How often does such a scenario be it practice or real involve IMC flight?
