He was deployed to Afghanistan in January as a fire direction specialist.
Mr. Turner, who was not on the scene on Sunday, was asked if he could have predicted the violent shift in fire direction that killed the firefighters.
The Germans built hundreds of structures in Alderney, but currently only two of them are on the register of historic buildings: the two fire direction towers, known as the Odeon and the water tower.
A Type 274 set was fitted for main armament fire direction.
When fleeing a forest fire, direction is important -- but so is speed.
Her close-range armament was standardised to six twin Bofors gun, and her close-range fire direction similarly standardised to eight close-range blind fire directors fitted with Type 262 radar.
Despite this instability, simultaneously recorded cells maintain relative firing directions, suggesting that a directional map is already present, although anchoring to an external reference frame has not been established.
The directional tuning of these cells is unstable, however, in that peak firing directions drift over the course of minutes in individual trials and change completely between discrete trials.
As is known, for even M, one of the patterns exhibits two antipodal main lobes looking at the end-fire directions, while for odd M, the end-fire directions are not included in the set (43).
We asked whether the directional tuning of different cells remained coherent across trials, i.e., if their relative firing directions were maintained, in the presence of the instability in absolute firing directions prior to eye opening.
Yet the cells drifted coherently, i.e., relative firing directions were maintained from one trial to the next.
