AI MK4 airborne interception radar circuit diagram needed - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Al (astral highway) · 16th Nov 2007, 7:13 pm

Trying to get hold of a circuit for this early 1940s airborne interception radar, which operated at just 200 Mhz.

Can anyone suggest any sources, please?

I'd be delighted for ANY possible sources of declassified radar circuits from this period.

Many thanks

The RAF museum at Hendon is the definitive place to ask for this kind of thing.

The Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington have a lot of Radio/Electronics stuff too.I've no experience of AI 4 myself but have been at both ends of AI 13 ,i.e target and attacker a/c in the air,

Hi Astral,

I have a complete photocopy of the AP for H2s as fitted to the Lanc - if you want to borrow that you are more than welcome.

Cheers
Sean
