On the Airbus A320 I understand that both the Localizer and Glideslipe antenna's are located within the Radome/Nose of the aircraft, are the below locations correct? On the B737NG the Glideslope antenna is located right at the top of the forward pressure bulkhead but from pictures I've seen of the Airbus this doesn't seem to be the case.
