That is some mighty amazing footage right there, thanks for sharing that link 🙂

Just building up a decent collection of pieces at the moment, where to from here is anybody’s guess, but like everything you gotta start somewhere, being a bigger aircraft it tends to fill up space in a suburban shed pretty darn quickly !

Yes thats the one. Maybe someone on here will recognise them. I’ve always been mystified by them and their purpose. In the shed they were with a load of broken remains, but interestingly the remains were stamped with RAF Kidbrooke, probably shipped over early on with aircraft deliveries and the like…..

That last photo is really something, especially when you read the context. Thanks Moggy.

As to the shortest service number, I had a look at the nominal roll from WW1 and it is indeed 8. On the same page there is a 170 and a 50. I wonder why they were so short compared to the rest ?

Not sure about the markings but I think that they may have been used in the TR9 series of wireless sets.

I recently picked one up at an auction house with an R1155A, so may also have been used with them. No idea about the stencils though. Good find !

Here you are, I hope these are of some help to you
