  12. Original Photo of a pre war Humber [ split screen ] captured by a German LW unit [German air force] from the Dunkirk area in 1940 with some German staff cars [ Mercedes ]. Bren carrier on the far left of photo. Photos of pre war Humbers in army use British or German are hard to find, most of the pre war humbers were taken from there owners in 1939 to help the war as the british army were so short of Vehicles.

  13. We used eggshell/semi gloss on our humber on top of the old gloss paint and use WD 40 and a rag and it looks like new in a few mins. would have liked to have kept the gloss finnish but was too far gone. Keith Keith

I had a green radio like this for the US Army, but never seen one like this or seen a cover for one, Think they made only a small batch, i hope to take it to Arnhem in Sept if i still have it. Original Photos from my collection. Keith
  16. Some better photos of the radio. My radio man has found more info. The Andrea Model 6.1 was used by the Norwegian Forces and was dropped into Norway by parachute and was used to listen to the BBC news from London, the Model 6.1 was a simple superhetrodyne with the New miniature tubes, my Model is the same but in a bigger box with a speaker and socket for a headphone, one of my miniature tubes, has a army arrow on it. The smaller radio Model 6.1 box only had a headphone socket and no speaker [ see 2nd to last photo]. info from Norwegian Radio History Association, they have good photos of the Model 6.1 in smaller box. Photos are from my collection but not the small radio set in B&W. Keith
  17. Photo of pre war Humber [ split screen] and war time Humber + ATS driver. Keith
  18. Well my Radio man got the radio going after a lot of years of not working, next job is to make a battery box with one 90v batt PP9s and the other 1.5v. Forandret ved GKMs Radioverksted sep 1944 is Changed by GKMs workshop in Sep 1944. The canvas cover has a flap you lift up to plug in headphones and on the other side has a pocket for booklet or spare parts tin. Any info on this radio will be wellcome. Keith
  19. A bit more info i have found on the radio, inside it has Andrea Model 6.1 + Forandret Ved GKMs. Radioverksted Sep 1944. + Ror Plassering. [ Norweigen ? ] the battery was 90v and a 1.5v. The canvas cover has NA 12 [ Norweigen Army ?] so this a US radio, made for the Norweigen Army ?. or could it have been given to the Norweigen underground to hear the BBC on. Just a guess.
