Re data link,
sorry a bit late on this. The data would have come to the aircraft via the UHF Radio, ARC 52 and maybe later the PTR 175. How sufficent data could have come over that RF link with AM modulation with sufficient redundency is still a complete mystery to me. Range 200 miles at 10,000 feet.
Would this be enough range. Can anybody point me to a good site that explains it better ?
Only had the pleasure of one once, that was at Cosford during training.
Thank You
