Recognition

Distinctive large circular radar antenna dish (1) set horizontally on two vertical struts extending from the top of the fuselage (2). (The radar is actually the white part of the disc, the black being there to balance and streamline the radar as it rotates). Low-set swept narrow-chord wings with underslung engines in four separate pods, wing-tip mounted electronic support measures pods (3) and in-flight refuelling probe mounted directly above the cockpit. Circular narrow-body windowless fuselage with the tailplane mounted either side of the tail cone. Tall, narrow fin and rudder, slightly swept.
