The AR62 (long after my time !) looks a very useful piece of machinery indeed. When did it come on the market, and did the RAF buy any ?

Cossor PAR enters service.
Wyton is the first RAF Strike Command airfield to have the new Cossor CR-62 precision approach radar (PAR). Cossor has previously delivered three systems, two for technician training at Locking, and one for flight trials at Linton-on-Ouse. A total of 43 CR-62s are scheduled for delivery over the next five years. The contract is worth about £22 million at today’s prices. The CR-62 uses the same antennas as the old SLA-3 system, but they are being refurbished and fitted with simpler drive units and direct digital angle pick-offs. The radar uses solid-state components and modular construction. Range is 18 n.m. for a 1m- target, and the PAR features selectable digital moving target indication and a video correlator, to improve weather clutter rejection.
