Thank you for the information. Having never seen a powered ground mount in preservation I forgot they existed.
Presumably if the radar controled mount was any good they must have been surperior to the Stiffkey sight. The cost of the mounts and the availabilty of suitable Radar Sets was probably the greatest limiting factor in their use.
There is a picture in Terry Ganders book showing the post war use of an american SCR 584 radar set. He notes that they were used very effectively against V1 Flying Bombs in 1944.
I will send you an e-mail about your manuals.
