Veterinary?

Lauren not that either

Japanese direction beacon of finder for little people in long grass

Thought you were going to say in long grass skirts, but its not a beacon Roy.

Just a simple signalling lamp

Roy no, yes & no

is it to do with overhead cables or wires if not its for knocking down coconuts

Not cables or wires Wally quite the opposite really & no coconuts

is it for signalling to aircraft from under the jungle canopy

Its not that Wally, but the pole is to lift the thing on the right above the local vegetation.

It has a sort of medical look to it. Is it a heat therapy pad or maybe something dental?

 

Lauren not medical/dental

is it japanese and to do with Broad casting

Yes Wally it is Japanese but not broadcasting.

is it to do with demolitions [america ]

Not demolitions Wally & nor American.

Far eastern metal or mine detector ?

A small element of truth there Roy

Yes, no & no

Has it anything to do with insect control. Seen something similar used inside tents and buildings to repel mosquitos etc think it worked on sound/vibration waves

I like it Gary. Sounds a splendid idea but its not that. One British idea for insect control was for men to get soapy hands & go round clapping at insects. The idea was that teams from huts would see who could catch the most mosquitoes. This served three functions.

1. Insect control

2. Stop boredom

3. Increase moral for the winning team

I AM being perfectly serious!

Not being British rules it out then - as far as I'm aware it is only the British who have an obsession with nasal hair.

Got it.

Oh my! I wasn't expecting that one. That's ingenious but I wouldn't like to stick it up my nose even without the long pole.

You say Mk 3. This isn't British if that helps.

For those who like to google, I have just googled the answer & had no direct answer I'm afraid that will lead to this equipment. So you are on your own

Some sort of radar??

No Lee although it looks as if it might be.

a listening device

Plausible Wally particularly with it being on poles, but its not that.

Is the pole insulated by any chance?

Not necessarily, but I suspect it may be bamboo

An early mine detector?

 

(Clive, I just love the names you give your photos!) :shocked:

 

Andy

Its not that Andy, but sometimes people do peep

Railway signal ? Or for traffic ?

Sorry Roy I missed you first time, nope its not that.

Some sort of camera??

Looks as if it could be Lee, although I'm afraid it is a lousy photo, but its not that.

The pole is carried by a man who also carries the box on his back.

early radiation scanner

Plausible Wally but its not that. The device on the right looks as if it is hand held but it is actually mounted on a long pole.

A metal scanner

Looks as if it could be Wally, but its not that

An early ultrasound device??

Looks as if it could be Lee, but its not that

Vampir infra red lamp.

Tony no, yes & no

Any ideas?

Andy I do nasal irrigation, anti-histamines, steroids, eye drops, nasal spray, side covered shades. But sooner or later the eyes get it. Only thing that saved me on Saturday was to wear a S6 respirator for most of the day
