I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I believe the Nimrod aiming system was based on the CVBS - if BEagle be following he was a expert on this.

Basically a vertical chinagraph line on the windscreen and a couple of horizontal lines on a transparent back plate. The vertical was aligned with the target and aimed off for drift. The horizontals to determine range release point.

I don't know if this was the same used on the Nimrod with 20 years of development incorporated

And CVBS? Copilot's Visual Bombing System
