A major advance in the performance of maritime radar came with the development of so-called "centimetric" equipment, with a 10-cm wavelength. As exemplified in the Mosquito NF Mk 30, a bulbous plastic radome replaced the fixed dipole nose aerial.

Mosquito NF.30 of 219 Sqn at Amiens in March 1945. Note the aircraft’s guns on the ground in front of the armourers. The shark’s mouth marking on the bulbous nose, housing the Mk X radar, is unusual.
