80.6.23.4

Hi all,

I'm a researcher for a flight simulator based on the night war - it's not a commercial project, we are just working on it in our spare time. Our website is http://www.nightbomber.com

One thing I'm hitting stumbling blocks over are good diagrams of the radar equipment showing what all of the different knobs actually adjust, and good photos of the equipment itself. Can anyone recommend a good source for that information? I'm mainly interested in FuG202, 212, 220, plus Naxos and Flensburg.

Another thing is whilst here in England bomber command veterans are relatively easy to find to talk to, I'm having difficulty getting in contact with any Luftwaffe nachtjaeger crewmen - does anyone know of any crew members who would be prepared to act as advisors to our project?

Thanks,

Ed Walters

Thanks for the link, it's a nice site! Unfortunately it doesn't really give the technical detail I'm after.

Does anyone know if the handbooks for the radar sets are available?

I haven't really looked over the narrative in detail yet; but I noticed that the picture of the FuG 220 (SN-2) radar receiver is in the FuG 212 narrative area, and that of the FuG 202 is in the FuG 220 narrative area.
