[MRCG] Fwd: BC 645 IFF

[Tom Chirhart]

In addition to Marks posting below I hope someone could answer this IFF inquiry.
Many many years ago I overheard my Dad in a discussion with an old WW-2 Army buddy about IFF Codes. Dad was in the Army during WW-2 in the PTO. he was an artilleryman on a 90MM AA gun. The discussion was that during one attack their IFF was reading the code for a submarine, flying at 5000'. I absolutely know nothing on IFF but did surface assets like ships/subs squawk IFF signals too? Is it possible that an aircraft had the wrong code set up?
Thanks for the bandwidth...

I've had a few sets of the cams come and go, but they were all sourced from folks who contacted me looking to sell them... I've never found a source on my own initiative. Do any of y'all know where Harold might find a cam set, or even an individual cam?

It came with yet another partial SCR-515 kit which I acquired to try a restoration, after having sold off my previous attempt to do so. This time I got a control box which had eluded me before, but I think I'm lacking the radio mount which I had acquired last time. Doh! I think I also need a dynamotor mount, crash switch, and probably some other bits, but I haven't opened all of the boxes yet.
