The ILS aerials were added when the Marconi RWR Fairing was added, and this was done, (to the best of my knowledge) after the RAF had them.Kim Simmelinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125785830128489060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652837616653424796.post-86265455625104632972015-07-01T16:37:48.796-05:002015-07-01T16:37:48.796-05:00Hi,

As far as I have found out, they weren't fitted during navy service, but when were they fitted to the RAF airframes? Was it straight at delivery, or at some later date? I also guess that they were fitted to the ex-navy airframes upon handover to the RAF?<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MortenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033484850567037004noreply@blogger.com
