AI Mk. IV radar

[edit]

AI Mk. IV on this Beaufighter has helped rack up nine kills.

  • ... that the AI Mk. IV was the world's first air-to-air radar, in spite of being developed in conditions that "would have caused a riot in a prison"?
  • Comment: Still finishing off some of the refs. All will be complete by Friday.

Created by Maury Markowitz (talk). Self nominated at 12:28, 8 July 2014 (UTC).

  • New enough, long enough. Hook verified. QPQ required. Image licence okay. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:55, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
I should have about a dozen QPQ's queued. How about we use Good Kisser for this one? Maury Markowitz (talk) 23:43, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Source says "prison farm".

  • ALT1 ... that the AI Mk. IV, the first air-to-air radar, was developed under conditions that "would have caused a riot in a prison farm"?
