simon king Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Does anyone know when the WS19 came into widespread use as a replacement for the WS9? Is it likely that WS19 sets would have been retrofitted into the A10 cruiser tanks in North Africa and Greece? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 The answer should be at one of these links. The Wireless-Set-No19 Group:- http://www.royalsignals.org.uk/ The Vintage & Military Amateur Radio Society:- http://www.vmars.org.uk/ The Royal Signals Museum:- https://www.royalsignalsmuseum.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
