BBC online news page showing a destroyed E3 Sentry at a Saudi Arabian airfield.

It’s been destroyed.

That airframe is beyond any definition of damaged.

Who the heck writes the headlines for the BBC nowadays?

#RadarLove

And why didn’t the RSADF do a better job of protecting the airfield?

Radar geek pop quiz…

Can anyone tell me what Modes 1, 2 and 3 were used for in the old skool IFF/SSR code system?

I suppose technically they’re still used for non ADS-B equipped aircraft.

I can give clues if required.

Squawk 7400: UK Introduces New Drone Code | Flightradar24 Blog The UK introduces squawk 7400 for drones that lose contact with their pilot. Learn how it differs from 7600 and 7700 and why it matters.

This is interesting for the #Drones nerds and #RadarLove geeks out there.

Adding a new IFF/SSR code to the list for UASs that ‘lose contact’ with their pilot. I’m assuming the ‘pilot’ can still set the code and they’ve just lost visual sight. Or would it…

#OTD 26th February is the anniversary of the ‘Daventry Experiment’ which lead to the creation of Radar and the birth of the UK Air Defence System.

Slightly ahead of the anniversary,
I’ll be remembering the three firefighters who lost their lives in the fire at RAF Neatishead on 16th February 1966.

I went through RAF West Drayton in 1987 and we learned about it on our training course.

I had the pleasure and honour of serving with Paddy at RAF Buchan.

He was a great radar operator and a wonderful man.

He’ll be sadly missed.

RIP. Per Ardua Ad Astra.

It’s an interesting article for a variety of reasons, but I’d love the BBC to do a similar piece on my former colleagues at RAF Boulmer.

It’s also a little surprising that it’s taken them this long to fuse the sensor feeds. (Good news it’s happened).

Obviously my no.1 question is why SBIRS didn’t detect the launch…

But this does look good and I’ll probably park my questions until afterwards and just enjoy the story. It’s got a great cast, and I think Bigelow did a great job with ‘Zero Dark Thirty’.

Can anyone at @rafadrm.bsky.social remember the name of this gizmo when we had ICCS in the bunker? It was meant to sit at the front of Upper Ops and project on to the big screen?

The actual projector sat in a room behind the screen and did a reverse image projection on to it.

#RadarLove

Which takes me to the final and most disingenuous paragraph in the Sky News ‘article’.

“Although the radar based at RAF Fylingdales forms part of the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS), and can detect incoming threats”.

It can’t detect the kind of threats we face. #RadarLove

But I’m sure the idea of micromanaging the air defence system from a ‘gods eye’ perspective appealed to senior officers.

The idea of decentralisation and tactical delegation of responsibility won out thankfully.
