FG 1 Piccy

Rockets on the centreline - never very accurate. Problem was that the airflow around the fuselage gave the rockets a disturbed air mass for a significant part of their initial flight. With relatively low initial velocity this resulted in much more dispersion than from the wing stations and on 6 Sqn we stopped using the centreline station for Sneb in 1970.
