Where Mk 5 clocks go to die

Just to catch up and understand the detail – the sonobuoy part is marked with

With T7725 use DIR
With T9003 use SSQ.

Both these were UK sonobuoys from the 1950/60’s

The T9003 was a Directional Passive Sonobuoy.

Thanks to Smirky we can confirm that is the top direction finder from a Mk1C sonics receiver as used on ASW Shackletons.

Much appreciated.

You don’t want to be going down south, there be dragons…………….

Thank you Gentlemen. Sorry for the delay in responding busy day down south.

Ah yes, good point.

I wondered whether it might be American when I saw this unit in a Youtube video, but the Stores Reference number shown in the forth picture implies not.
Andy

Yes sonobuoy, the clues are on the front. Don’t know any more than this …

Might be American equipment, otherwise must be pretty rare.

Smirky, that’s interesting, I’ve never seen one of those ‘in the flesh’, am I right that it’s part of the sonabouy system? What is the ‘name’ or designation of that system/unit?
Andy

Gotcha

Andy yes both of the same part – looks like a tuner.

The second picture looks to be the dial from an R1132 receiver. Are the third and forth pictures of the same item? I don’t recognise it.
