In theory though there must be some kind of plan B to use older non electronic driven equipment like for example a Spitfire.
I read once that the US keep a couple of their old Museum ship's , Iowa?. In readiness in case of some kind of Emp attack.
But do we have 'modern' examples of prop driven aircraft capable of the same maneuverability and speed of the Spitfires and their Peers.
I thought id seen something about there being one around. But not sure if it was a Tucano or even if they are capable of being in combat.
Is there current compatible armour peircing ammo that could fit those old guns?.
Its an interesting thread in that if nothing else it gets you thinking how our defence could work if we lost or our electronics.
We might be down for a short while but . We must thanks to Raf Storage and Museums have all the schematics. Almost a complete step by step guide to get going.
They can take off almost anywhere and youd probably be able to train pilots who just held a Cessna or single engine licence to fly them.
But if you need numbers quickly and it would work. It might be a method of survival
