Pillaging mostly.:D
I don’t think so, that was II (a/c)’s gig in ’81 Furstenfeldbruck.
Thorn’s vikings, all pillage and no rape:D
The Victor’s underside periscope is at the Nav Radar’s seat, next to the H2S set, coming out directly below his seat (just in front of and to the right of the nose leg). I’m not sure where it’s controls are, I’ve never seen Lindy’s working.
On the pedestal of the periscope.
My firend had a look in the box and there was an oil stained tag in the bottem. It confirms it is 27R not 26R and it has aircraft type as B25 mitchell!
Thanks for the help!
I would then expect it to be 27B. 27R is oleos.
It would appear to be the proverbial cuckoo.
NATO exchange?
I must admit I had expected something American, but sections never lie.
The five figure reference number is certainly pre 60’s.
I can only go on the a/c I worked on 26DK: Lightning 26NA: Bucc 26RA: Jag 26DE: Victor.
Found it, see post #2.

XA917, the first production Victor. The nose was used as the crew trainer until the K2s were scrapped.
GIB in know, but YOT??
You Over There.
26R would make it a section and reference number particular to an a/c type.
There has been a list of sections posted here before, anybody?
Rocky, the second crewmember in the Tomcat is a RIO.
(very important 😉 )
I always thought they were known as YOT or GIB.;)
My dear Robert,
your question was not answered by my post, as you have concluded successfully. Further on, from the fact that I answered a later post, you can conclude that I read your question. So, but I did not reply to your post, which can have following reason:
– I have no clue
– I do not want to answer
Second option hits the nail on its head. I actually don’t see this as question and answer game, with me being the answering machine. As you have access to the internet (otherwise you wouldn’t be here), you can use your own fingers and have the answer to your question right at your command. It is called Google, and would have yielded the answer in less than 10 seconds (just checked).
Now have fun googling it yourself. It is really a no-brainer.
If you were actually half as smart as your mouth you’d be running your department, maybe even the company.
From my answer you can deduce that my opinion of you is very low.
Or compare latest Sopwith Camel to latest F-16? Wouldn’t make sense, would it?
I compare two aircraft that were available and produced at the same time.
It still doesn’t answer my question.
The AIM-54 warhead is only 20kg heavier than that of a Sparrow.
And how heavy is that exactly?
Ive heard about one at Scampton being granted to fly, XX885 I think.
How comme the RAFG Buccs didnt have probes? Can understand their missions would be fairly short endurance, but what if things went wrong and a refuel would of helped?
A bucc had fairly long legs so I assume they weren’t considered neccessary.
All the airframes I saw at Laarbruch were not fitted with them, mind you I was working on Jags at the time.:D
