Title: Hayrake
Post by: AG-51_Thud on August 17, 2012, 07:25:41 AM

I'm trying to find some history on Hayrake on the internet and other sources.  Just curious if anyone else has researched Hayrake?

Here's a doc I found:

Hayrake was also called YE/ZB. YE was the transmitter on the ship. ZB (or Zed Baker)  was the receiver in the aircraft. The land based version of the transmitter was YG. (I believe all that's right.)

Thank you Fireball. Interestingly the only place that I can find where it is referred to as a "hayrake" is on flight Sim sites.
