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

I recall a brief by CFE on engaging bombers with gun armed day fighters. As the Badger and Bear had radar controlled guns their plan was to attack from behind and below and climb under the target ahead of the gun defensive arc.

They also showed gun tracking against a manoeuvring Valiant at low level. The pipper stayed steady on the back of the cockpit.

4x30, great weapon with a good on by DAY.
