[Milsurplus] Red face TU

[Hubert Miller]

German fighter aircraft apparently entered the war using HF equipment, with I think a TRF receiver.
I forget the Fu-number. Then ( I guess mid war ) the transition was to the 44 - 50 MHz band.
Bomber aircraft used the FuG10 system, which did have a HF component for 3 - 6 MHz. That means,
aircraft with a radio operator. So yes, the Tinsel system would "maybe" have proven worthwhile
during the Battle of Britain, not much after the war moved to the continent.

I still think painting BC-375 red would be a worthless exercise. If these had special components, like
maybe a wobbulator, just paint a big X on the front somewhere. It's not going to go into a repair depot
and disappear. ( Actually, a cruel thought occurred to me just now: with the BC-375, who needs a
wobbulator? )
