Hi,

(*) See http://www.radarpages.co.uk/mob/rotor/fps6.htm or
http://www.radomes.org/museum/equip/fps-6.html. I don't think the ebay
PFN came from this exact same model of radar, but it's from one of
comparable size and vintage.



Anyone who did a radar course at RAF Locking in the late
50's or early 60's should remember the FPS-6 height finder
alongside one of the training blocks as the "Nodding Horror"
since such was its local name.

The PFN in that eBay ad is of British manufacture. You
can tell that from the '99' in the NATO part number and
the colour scheme is typical also.


Cheers - Joe
