I think you wrote this wrong and really you are explaining the inexperience of the RAF in saying that THAT particular squadron had not seen these things...

No, this was "September 1939 three days after the declaration of war". No one had seen any fighter action at that time.

I was commenting on the radar system and how it was supposed to be blind to the rear (as written in Ivank's post). On this occasion there was a failure of the radar and it led to incorrect plots, confusion and a regrettable death.

Just a little story for those interested.

Ah yes I just read it again... The inexperience of the RAF. Thanks for clearing that up!

Reminds me of miller and miller and mitchell and webb in spitfire pilots.
