Lancaster….??

Anybody know anything about this kit?

All I know is that it is supposed to be Lancaster, but not my thing!

It might be worth trying the Museum at Langton Matravers. There was a lot of experimental radar work done at Worth Matravers and Langton Matravers during WW2. I don’t have the details immediately to hand, but Google should help.

The items have turned up having been in the family of a leading civilian ‘radar boffin’ who worked on a great deal of this kit and retained some of material post-war. Thanks for your comments, BobKat.

A home is being sought for it (it is in the West Country) but I am not selling it and not involved in any transaction, here. I realise it is very specialised, but if there is a specific museum or collection who would like to have it then I can put people in touch.

This is the unit used for ARI 5153, the H2S navigation system. I don’t immediately recognise the other pieces, but I will have another look.

– – – Updated – – –

I have a diagram of the H2S system, but the Modulator Type 64 is the only one of your pieces which appears on it. The piece with the green coloured screen seems to be the indicator unit, but it is not immediately recognisable as the Type 162 or 163 on my diagram. The other piece has connections for your Modulator Unit Type 64, and also for a Power Unit 529 (my diagram shows a Type 224 or 280), and a Control Unit Type 409 (my diagram shows a Type 218). I can only conclude that you might have a later version of H2S than ARI 5153, but perhaps somebody else has more information?

In your centre picture, the blue coloured item at the bottom left seems to have an AM number and a Type number which I can’t quite make out. Can you provide details please?

Nope, however, there is a message to you in the general forum from someone.
