The Royal Air Force
The R A F is to participate in the flying and
static display. High-speed aerobatics will be
performed on Sunday, June 16, by " T h e Firebirds"—ten Lightning all-weather fighters of
N o 56 Sqn. One of their most striking
manoeuvres is their take-off and 80° climb.
On Saturday and Sunday, June 15 and 16,
there will be a demonstration of a scramble
take-off by a Vulcan B.2, and a Victor B.2 will
also be displayed. In the static park is a
Vulcan B.2 with a Blue Steel stand-off b o m b ,
a Victor B.2 and an Argosy C . l .
La Royal Air Force presentera le 16 juin son
equipe acrobatique de dix Lightning du No 56
Squadron, dont la montee verticale apres le
decollage est particulierement
impressionnante.
Les 15 et 16 juin, un Victor B.2 sera presente

Stand C.80B.
This company is showing its type 40 supersonic towed target developed for the French
air force and already towed at a speed of Mach
1.25 at 31,000ft by a Mirage III. T h e target
is also towed by Vautours. It is mounted on
an external weapons pylon with a reel of
3,600ft of nylon rope. Three flares, each
lasting three minutes, are ignited by radio
command from the tug to increase infrared
target value, and a 7in Luneberg lens increases
radar area. The nylon tow-rope is sheared by
explosive bolts at the end of a mission. An
optical miss-distance recorder uses batteries
of photoelectric cells in the nose and tail of
the target, from which the successive indications are plotted and telemetered to the ground.
Target structure is of light alloys, there being
no wings and a simple cruciform tail.
