A fascinating thread from the dim and distant.
I recollect Blue Silk and Green Satin from my days flying the Scimitar (early sixties) and the inadequacies with smooth water surfaces. Early Radalts had a similar problem I seem to remember.
Nav then was still easier track crawling over a Half Mil. at just less than a thumb a minute !
One other that has not been mentioned was Violet Picture IIRC. Can any of you techies fill me in on that ?
Edit : Thanks, ian16th. re: Wikipedia Rainbow Codes. Should pay more attention…….!
Yep, Violet Picture was a form of UHF Homer. Never flew an aircraft so fitted. Can you tell me more ? Thx.
