    Look for the BABA magazine ( British Artist Blacksmith Asssociation) ads or put a request in there,always have interesting kit in there …not necessarily for blacksmithing.

    I think Elliot has done really well,difficult thing being a one man outfit and doing all the work yourself.What you can,when you can..flitting about to different bits is understandable..do it myself…he’s got some cracking original stuff and is moving forward.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]242868[/ATTACH] I had a clear ‘plastic ?’ Complete DR aerial years ago..looking at this..a type 3.. The joining seam was horizontal but it was only about two feet long.The loop aerial was made of hardwood with copper/ brass wire…Ken Ward had it off me,the one I have now is only around three feet long though…didn’t realise there were so many types.

    The Whitley used the type 3. From memory this is the larger type – it’s 4′ long and built in 3 parts.

    Four Feet long???????? That’s huge..doesn’t look as big in your photos..

    Just stumbled across this…I used to live just down from here when at college at Camberwell and remember those stretcher railings…and the mounds of. The filled in air raid shelters behind them.Just up from this was the old Grammer school on the corner of the junction with Wilson Road ( across from the church). There were two emergency water supply signs painted (faded) on the wall…don’t know if any of this is still there now the shelter direction were still painted on the church wall down by ‘the Oval’ tube station.
    My friend was lodging in a house just down from here at the top of Southampton Way,he showed me a large communal air raid shelter in the back garden..still had rusted remains of beds and gas masks in there…in this was in 1989.

    I supplied some bits to help restore the only surviving FN25 when it was being restored by restorations unlimited…it was put on display for the day and I went up and did a few 35mm shots.It was a bit dark so I don’t know how clear the internal shots are.I will try and locate them over the holiday for you!!
