Radar Type Numbers
I am indebted to Brian Mulvana for preparing this list of radar type numbers and descriptions. This is the most comprehensive list I have seen and it covers British, US, German and civil types. This is a first class effort, the original list comprises of 19 pages of information! Brian tells me that the list represents some 20 years work and that the information was drawn from many sources in the course of his own research. Please send any additions or corrections to me and I'll pass them on to Brian. You can see some of Brian's work here.
