Ok, WTF? is all I can say about this brain fart of an idea!
Is Australian Defence really so desperate for enticing recruits for it's headlong war against China to come up with such a pathetic metaphoric carrot, and is Thales so desperate for sales of their product?
Seriously, the last thing the...
I am reading an article on the LW/AW radar set designed in Australia. It states the first production unit went into full operation at Tufi in November 1942.
When I google Tufi airfield, all I find is this web page, which claims it was built in the 1960s...

On 10 December 1941 the capital ships of the Royal Navy H.M.S. Prince of Wales and H.M.S. Repulse are sunk by Japanese airplanes. On 21 December of the same month, the firm...
