Thought you all might be interested in this, a fairly unusual (and possibly unique?) item. It is the modulator rack (Type 189) for the Village Inn lancaster radar, this item being specific to the AGLT Mk1. Whilst an interesting lump I do have a premium on space here (and a Green Satin radar set – I’m not short of old kit!), so if anyone wants it a sensible offer will secure it. The components are dated December 1944 and are all there, with the exception of the two valves.
Replies here or via PM.
kind regards,

Thankyou Geoff! Does anyone know where in the airframe this equipment was sited? Am I right in thinking the heavier stuff was plonked down with the navigator (to avoid upsetting CofG too much)?
