In sci.military.naval hcobb twisted the electrons to say:

Pity the Brits don't get this. Oh I think you find the RN gets this completely ... Hence why it's had AEW / ASAC aircraft since 1982. It's just that the current government would ordinarily prefer to spend the $$$ on moreschoolsandhospitals(TM) and ATM wants to keep it's head down because the people are being "nasty" to it! -- These opinions might not even be mine ... Let alone connected with my employer ... |

E-2D and Maritime Securityhttp://lexingtoninstitute.org/docs/857.pdf Amazing photo and profiling but isn't this all better done from a satellite? The plane has a limited duration of being airborne. Or is having a plane known with it all the disguise that they are already using a satellite with it? |

Some testing was done with a modified Wellington but it never entered service. The first AEW aircraft to enter squadron service was the AEW Avenger. The RN used the AEW Skyraider equipped with the APS-20 radar which was in turn superseded by the Fairey Gannet. The responsibility for AEW remained with the RN until the retirement of the Fleet carriers and Gannet in the early 1970's The first operational RAF AEW unit was 8 Squadron equipped with Shackletons equipped with the now rather elderly APS-20 radars in 1972.

Some testing was done with a modified Wellington but it never entered service. The outline is as follows, The idea of Air Control of Interception was proposed by Watson-Watt in August 1941, the idea being as a control for fighters intercepting Fw200 over the Atlantic. The Telecommunications Research Establishment modified Wellington R1629 with a rotating Yagi dipole antenna, 9 inch PPI, high powered transmitter and an ASV II radar. Trials in 1942 and 1943 were quite successful, the system was dismantled in April 1943. There is a 3 page article on the system by Lawrence Hayward in the spring 2004 edition of Aviation World. With the use of He111s flying over the North Sea at low level to launch V-1s against the UK the ACI/AWACS was revived as operation Vapour. This time ASV VI was the radar, trials and some operational sorties were done in January 1945. Sea returns provided the usual low altitude range problem, at higher altitudes aircraft were detected at 14 miles range. Just as the system was being put into operation the Luftwaffe effectively ceased He111 V-1 operations. The only interceptions made were of allied aircraft. The plan was to convert the Wellingtons of 407 squadron into airborne control, with the step after that to use B-24s for round the clock coverage. It was fun if you were in the Mosquito XXX, to stay with the Wellington, you flew with flaps and undercarriage down, at low altitude. http://www.angelfire.com/trek/rcaf/exag0306.html See The History of Air Intercept Radar and the British Nightfighter by Ian White and Diver!
