lasernigel,
The A-31s we had only had a weak R/T set. This thing has a "Radio Telegraph Key", so c/w comms. Presumably all the Oz A-35s were so equipped. Or were they ? How would their Navs and "straight" AGs have coped with a Morse Key ? (it's been a long time since the Navs were at ITW !)
Remember, this Narellan aircraft never flew (apart from a few hours before boxing-up and despatch). This radio gear (no idea, never saw it in my life) might have been only the bright idea of some Sydney Tech stude or instructor (Class Project: Design and build installation of this gubbins ?)
I understand that in UK, certain hush-hush items of radar, etc, were fitted with an internal demolition charge, actuated by the crew (or by an inertia switch in the event of a crash) to prevent the enemy from working out its modus operandi. But I have no knowledge of this.
Danny.
