Meteor mark 4B Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Right. Late WW2 then? We thought they were newer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm not sure when they (or even if they) went out of use...this is the British Army after all:cool2: Ive got a couple and they're both 45 dated... although I've taken all the webbing off mine to make a radio rack :red: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 They were still in the system in the 1970's as a Cadet piece of kit, had a knack of restructing ones back during usage. There was a clip on shelf at the bottom. A really archaic piece of kit by todays Gucci bergen standards. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 One use they had was as a carrier for a WS31 in the early 1950s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topdog Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 We used to strap 19 radio sets to ours. Had to be the most awful back carrier ever designed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartan-ninja Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 A pair of very light carrying frames. I was wondering what these were...we still have two in the signals store...no one knew what they were and no one wanted to throw them out....:nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Just that! Carrying things they're Carrying framesThe British version of the US packboard Came in late war / end of the war CARRIER, GS. (General Service) used through the Fifties,sixties & seventies. Used to carry, a radio set,(A41 before it got it's dedicated carrier) two of the wooden ammo boxes with the top folding handles. A water jerrycan, & just about anything you needed to 'Manpack' about! Quiet a few survive & are around £10-£15 quid a pop. There are photos around showing thier usage in British Service. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I was sure there was something very similar for mounting a UK/PRC352 on, but we only had a couple (of 352s) in the regiment, they stayed permanently locked in my RSO Signals Store and only after I left did the radio fit for CVR(T) change from 2 times UK/VRC353 to 1 times 353 and 1 times 351/2. Probably wrong - I usually am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
