Thank You Sir

There were two Radars in Islands the ANTPS Westighouse ( 3D ) that belong to the Air Force and resposible to guide our Aircrafts into combate and the ANTPS 44 ( 2D ) Cardion which belong to the Army and was part of the Triple AAA .- Information from both Radars was send directly to the Air Post Comand ( Joint Air Post Comand / Air Force/Army and Navy ) .-

The Air Force Radar was initialy installed at the Airport and then moved at the edge of the Town , the Army Radar was installed at Sapper Hill .-

That first Raid was a wake up call , without doubt and amaizing raid because of the distance , the amount of refueling required and surely never expected .- It was never in my mind the posibility of having to encounter a Vulcan , we had analized and study the Harrier , not the Vulcan .-
