P. ; Owen, F. N. Abstract This paper studies the interaction of the prototypical wide-angle tailed radio source 3C 465 with the ambient cluster gas. 3C 465 is attached to the dominant D galaxy NGC 7720 in the cluster Abell 2634. New VLA maps of the radio source are presented which reveal an inner jet and a rapid change of structure at the hot spots at the beginning of each tail. New X-ray maps of the cluster gas are also presented. It is shown that the sharp bend of the flowing radio-luminous plasma between the inner jets and the beginning of the tails cannot be explained by any of the conventional models. Neither galactic motion, buoyancy, gravitational bending, nor dynamic pressure can account for the bending of this source. Attention is also given to new possibilities for the dynamics of this type of radio tailed source: the effect of a current in the jets, and the interaction with cooling clouds in the cluster gas.
