Thanks Two's In. Yes remember the SS11, did some trials using 26 flights Alouette 2s in Germany late 1967. Two pilots operating, I, ('gunner'), sat next to the Alouette pilot, (flying), took the target details over the R/T, gave instructions to pilot, used a pair of binoculars with a bloody great gyro attached to stabilize them, called 'fire', recording equipment plus officer in back giving commentary, called 'hit' when time of flight achieved. All done with no missiles at all! Went on for about a week, never did see a report though. Left Army Feb. 1968.
