Colin Clarke – Different sonar systems are basically the same thing

The basic function of that sonar is doing the same thing as the very first one I learnt on back in 1979.

It’s just presented differently because it’s on more modern displays, you need to operate the sonar differently, but in effect it’s like, you know, my first car was a Mk 1 Ford Escort. There’s an Audi sat out there, it’s basically the same.

It’s just the knobs and switches and the kind of things they do are a bit different, but they’re all doing the same function.
