PART I-DESCRIPTIVE
46. D.M.E. (Rebecca Mk. 7) ARI.5849
(a) The control unit (89) is on the starboard shelf. A range
and heading meter (57), which indicates range and left
right heading from the homing beacon, is on the star-
board instrument panel.
(b) Three suppressed receiver aerials are fitted, one in each
wing leading edge and one in the rear fuselage under-
surface. A suppressed transmitter aerial is also inside
the rear fuselage undersurface.
47. Gun firing
(a) The gun firing switch is on the forward face of the control
column handgrip. The circuit is automatically isolated
when the undercarriage is locked down. A butt test
switch is in the starboard wheel bay and provides an
override for the automatic isolation of the gun firing
circuit.
(b) When the guns are fired, an electrically-operated selector
is energized allowing hydraulic fluid to open the gun bay
scavenging flap. This causes air to clear the gases from
the link and empty case chutes. When the trigger is
released the scoop closes and the air flow is cut off.
