The US Blackbird C130's in the 80's use to have a rubberised paint,that they reckon helped to lessen the relection of the radar.

The Blackbird is the SR-71. A C-130 is a cargo plane. What are you referring to?
SR-71's are painted with "high-emissivity blue" paint (indistinguishable by the human eye, with "black"). Rubberised paint wouldn't cut the mustard with the temperatures generated on the skin of an SR-71.

P.I.G.L.S.? Isn't Piggles advertising for ANZ at the moment?

Iv'e got some snake oil for sale if any one is interested

Heilen will be in contact within the next day or so. Elections are coming.

In the 1960's to 1980's there was/maybe still is a US special forces group called the Blackbirds who used the C-130 fitted out for Special Operations – particularly the Fulton Recovery System used for surface to air extraction. They were black and had the early attempts at anti-radar coatings.

Fulton first used instrumented dummies as he prepared for a live pickup. He next used a pig, as pigs have nervous systems close to humans. Lifted off the ground, the pig began to spin as it flew through the air at 125 mph. It arrived on board undamaged but in a disoriented state. Once it recovered, it attacked the crew.

Bahahahaha

Man I should learn to read the whole thread before quoting someone and replying.

I was going to reference a mythbusters episode that looked at a pile of radar defusing paints designed for this purpose. None of them worked...

Bahahahaha

I read a first-hand account of a SEAL being extracted with this system.
Waiting to be reeled into the C-130 he became bored and proceeded to "body-surf" side to side... The crew thought he was in trouble!

considering the C130 has 4 fuck-off big propellors on it, and as they would reflect more radar back than a big reflecting thingy, i think that painting said plane in rubber paint would do nothing more than get it an invite to the annual fetish ball.

ok so this want help you get of a mobile ticket but should help you
out at night on stationary cameras http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epdVKvU2NN8

Anyone in NZ stock the stuff?

Are these guys the same as the "Black Watch"???? Cos they just seem to be fitted out for mass destruction!!!!!! These guys have killed more civillians in Iraq than Saddam Hussein!!

I have a mate, Joe, in the UK who used to work for the defence research division of Thomson. His speciality was microwave and radar. They developed radar-jamming systems for fighter jets. Amongst the various test procedures they carried out was one designed to subject the system to a lot of vibration and shock. So they bolted it into a back of a car with buggered suspension, and then spent several days driving it round the roughest roads they could find.
This being the UK, there were also one or two speed cameras on these very same roads (speed cameras in the UK are radar-triggered). Apparently, systems designed to jam radar on fighter jets also work quite well against common or garden speed cameras too.
Of course, at over 100kg it might be a little too big to fit on your bike, but ...

it would have to be in the waikato - south cambridge.

I'd travel down for that... Seriously.
