k3k3,

You may have something with the Valiants, they were "retired" in 1965 ISTR, which would coincide nicely with the introduction of the K. This thread has a habit of resolving queries, when people add their "two penneth". Thanks for that.

Kilwhang,

You aren't wrong on the Doppler panel, I remember taking a team of linies to Nellis during Red Flag, to replace the resident Alberts dielectric, which had been smashed on a strip somewhere. I kept my head down about being a trade based rigger so that Lyneham/FATCOCK wouldn't pull the rigger SNCO from the team, needed for the post repair "Max Diff" pressure check.
