I have a question to the experts. What kind of avionics suite was carried on-board the Aéronavale F4U-7 Corsairs, particularly during the 1956 Suez conflict?
The F4U-7's manual from 1953 claims that the a/c was equipped with:
Either the AN/ARC-1 VHF AM (10 channel max) or the AN/ARC-27 (20...
This is a rough TL sketch.

I have been looking for some drawings or pictures of the unbuilt Verdun aircraft carrier that the French government ordered at the end of the 1950s, but I've been unable to find any. According to wiki, it would have had size and displacement similar to today's Marine Nationale CDG, albeit with a...
In his BSP book, Tony Buttler has a chapter called 'Strike Trainers' which describes the background to what became the Jaguar.
In it he mentions the Folland Fo.147 and 148, the BAC (Vickers) Type 593, the BAC (English Electric) P45 (fixed and variable wing), and the Hawker Siddeley HS.1170B and...
