What a rare find .... looks like a C4 mk 11 with the No.1 Mk III house type body on it . I would have slipped some sleeping pills in the wife's coffee........wife goes to sleep , and driven it home ASAP . It would be ideal as a retreat when wifey gets angry too . Hide in there playing with radios .
There is another body of this type on a restored Guy Ant 4X2 somewhere in the UK .
19 sets , I had a few sets and many other bits , but not much left now. Still have a few B set bases , the rubber part that the short VHF antenna screws into . These are rather rare .
It amazes me how many hams used the 19 set on the air after the war . They were very unstable and crude , but still worked OK . Reports from many AFV crews say the sets jumped off frequency as the tank bumped along . The big falldown with them was that effective netting was always difficult to achieve .
