Before I start telling of my experiences I will
explain a little about the terms used. RT/DF
stands for Radio Telephone Direction
Finding. Homer---when aircraft flew off from
airfields they would need bearings to return
especially in cloud, fog etc. The word homer
describes perfectly the equipment used to
guide them 'home'.
Airfields had static
homers usually sited in line with runways so
that the bearings they gave would be roughly
in line for landings. There were also mobile
homers with the equipment housed inside
vehicles and the direction finding aerials
would project through the roof.
