Canada PM Statement - Iranian SAM Shot Down Ukrainian B737
sycamore,
I don't doubt the veracity of any statements here, merely pointing out that the MARHAM bloodhounds went in May 1964, those at West Raynham, which FED may well have been referring to, indeed came and went much later.

Mil radar tracking of civilian A/C.
It is quite common in central Europe, especially during NATO exercises.
Last from 30 sec to a minute or two. It does not bother me particularly because I am a punk and generally feel lucky.
It is the principal.
As we were told at the range :Treat it as loaded and never aim the rifle at ANYONE unless You are ready to kill them.
So , in peacetime NEVER!
As so clearly shown in Iran :It only takes one eager Beaver and someone dies!
Mele
So , not observant or never been in the cross hairs of fighter ,SAM or tired sailor on a Destroyer .
Now , when You do see it you know what it is.
Safe Landings

As far back as 1971/2, Soviet Air Defence radar spikes were quite visible on the C-141's APN 59 weather/mapping radar when passing up off the Kamchatka Peninsula en-route from Yokota AB in Japan to the West Coast on the NorthPac 1 route. In addition, one night in the wee hours between Johnston Island and Hickam, I became aware of similar spikes emanating from something on the sea below. To keep awake, I filled in one of the report forms in the route bag and handed it in at Operations after landing. By the next day, as we collected paperwork for return to Travis, that report had been upgraded to Secret with Codewords attached - so somebody seemed to think that there had been something of interest out there. All of that said, I don't ever recall seeing anything similar, anywhere around the globe, on the Ekco weather radars fitted in any of the three RAF Transport aircraft types I flew.
