As a mere greenie, one thing intrigues me. The AAWO states that the Super Etendard radar had similar characteristics to that of the Sea Harrier, so there were a lot of false alarms. I thought, perhaps wrongly, that this is why the latter had a war mode. May be irrelevant, but some years later RN SY suddenly switched on to this issue and jumped if it caught an aircraft using the wrong mode.
