That's rotten luck

Every time I looked at my SOE wireless sets, I was reminded of the SOE wireless operators in Europe who were captured and then endured horrific torture in German run prisons . A typical method was pulling toenails out with pliers .. I am glad I don't have the SOE sets around .. too depressing

I have a couple of C13 Larkspur sets and most of the kit for them . If you ever come across a C13 ATU unit , please grab it.

aye rotten luck indeed not to mention a wasted day and fuel and food costs..however it was a lovely drive through the virtualy empty roads of the Scottish borders from north-Northumberland to dumfrieshire...regarding the C13 atu...is rthat the one that sits on the top tray on set as opposed to front of vehickle cheers malcolm

Those prices have my head spinning. The C42 sets were 10 bucks each at HaM RADIO SUPPLIES , an old shop in Highett street Richmond . IN THE EARLY 1980'S. tHEY HAD A BIG PILE OF THEM ON THE FLOOR .
