I was commenting on the radar system and how it was supposed to be blind to the rear (as written in Ivank's post). On this occasion there was a failure of the radar and it led to incorrect plots, confusion and a regrettable death.

Reminds me of miller and miller and mitchell and webb in spitfire pilots.
