Dean , thanks for explanation . Glad it was calm and smooth . I agree memories fade , but you've just reignited mine , last used 30 yrs ago.... Ekco 290s .. nice Orange screen IIRC. Found the Cbs easily , 'specially on T1s which did not climb well . But more importantly picked up Bilbao's harbour wall very well even down to a short range , enabling a self guided radar approach to a dodgy field. I expect that as Ekco was an Essex mob , they'd tested it on Saarfend pier .
Must have been a first 'tho , self guided radar approach to Everests col.
Any more Albert radar stories ?

rgds condor .
