On average, how many radar equipped planed did a British carrier normally stock? How long was the radar range of such planes?
There was no average Squadrons were either ASV equipped or were not, in this case Illustrious had a squadron of Swordfisk my 2 with ASV radar.
ASV radar I. The mode used by swordfish had a range of 36 miles though target size had an influence.
One of the better features is that ASV equipped planes could identify other radar equipped aircraft using IFF enabling them to spot each other over a long distance.
nB the Black Cat Catalina night attack squadrons were equipped with the same ASV my 2 radar.
