Wireless of the Week - week 36

[things_green]

a couple of neat images of a WS53 'in the field'.
I can't even recall where i found them...one of the Brit Sig battalions websites.

Malta, post WW2

Initially I was excited as it included an R209 which I hadn't seen in service before.
Even the BC221 is interesting in this environment.
not to mention the teapot

I don't think that's Malta, those photos show two different WS53s, probably in the same nissen hut, and the board at the foot of the set is most likely for the destination end of the link. It's probably somewhere in North Africa or around the Mediterranean for a major base. (Middle East Command?)

thanks for that Chris......

still great images' though.

I have a dim recollection of the website confirming the Malta Aspect....but history changes depending on aspect and memory.
Keith W loved the R209 'in action'.
