>>>The targettowing machine and a Gladiator leave the aerodrome together, fly out over the sea, where the shooting takes
place, and then return to the aerodrome. The target machine releases another drogue which slides down the
towing wire and, on reaching the end, releases the drogue which was used for the first shoot. It is then ready for
the second machine. This saves a great deal of time compared with our system of dropping the wire and drogue,
landing and refitting. Usually ten targets are carried. The result of the Swedish system is that one target-towing
aeroplane must be equal in efficiency to at least four of ours.>>>

Var alltså " the Swedish system " unikt vid den tidpunkten?
