You take me too literally.....I was referring to the current AWAC of which I have been aboard two...they are No8 Sqn based at RAF Waddington and became operational in 1991 iirc.

Prior to those we had the Shackleton but I digress...my apologies.

The time era is not the 60's and the picture is not a rotor blade.
