29.5
Does anyone here remember what this was:
29.5 R dot + 9000 feet. |
No, but I'm sure you'll tell us. :)
|
Then there were "The Ghosts of 29 megacycles"
Don't mock. :) |
No I don't. Just a guess, was it a rule of thumb for calculating a parameter from a radar picture? Use of steering symbology in lock mode?
|
Something out of ‘computer red’ ?
Probably not kinematic ranging as the R dot is already there. So 29.5 R dot at Mach 2 closure (2000 ft/sec); approx … 60000ft (10 nm) + 9000ft = firing range ? But what about ABC ? |
That's the kind of thing I was thinking, Safety. Clues, LM?
P.S. This is a good one. |
Turn in range (or range to start offset) to achieve a tail solution for early Firestreak???
OK OK I'm a mud mover, but it's an OK guess! ;) |
29" + 5" = 34A cup size ... 9,000 feet ... the minimum proximity limit of my restraining order :E
Being a gentlemen ... I won't mention the significance of R dots := |
Coffman, I'm pretty sure that would be a 29 E. :ok:

Red Top
Very Good question !
I'm thinking it must be a Red Top snap up for a head on supersonic target - that's without reference to my notes! Does anyone have any Lightning Radar film ? -, I have a cassette from the spine of one the last Lightnings which may have some footage but still not got round to developing it ! In hope SF |
Time to go switching
|
Yes it was indeed.
If I remember it was for a Red Top stern attack when the programme switched from quasi-lead pursuit to pure pursuit. |
Since we are re-visiting long forgotten tactics and procedures:
"Steer's in for Point Alpha, track freeze....." Which direction do you expect to turn, by how much and where will you be when you get there? YS:8 |
The fashionable wife of a famous footballer? On a big day?

Ah LM !! Did that not depend on the K Factor?
|
Ah LM !! Did that not depend on the K Factor? Was that not Firestreak? |
'If I remember it was for a Red Top stern attack when the programme switched from quasi-lead pursuit to pure pursuit.'
Thanks goodness. I'm not sure I would have slept tonight had I not known..... :rolleyes: :) |
Not according to my memory LM!
Then I guess you do not recall the Red Top Azimuth Look Angle Limit?:ok: |
Did inches of mercury come into it? :bored:
|
Ah, the winged messenger, Walt. Supposedly he was quite well endowed, since you ask.
