Title: Radar reflectors
Post by: Steve Vyse on May 09, 2007, 12:14:39 PM
Following the Ouzo tragedy the MAIB commissioned QinetiQ to report on the effectiveness of radar reflectors. The report can be found at;

If you are like me and are carrying a tube type plastimo reflector it makes sobering reading. I'm going to go shopping for one of those blow-up types that Derek has on BJ.
