    Cockleshell

    fv1609 replied to cripp's topic in Other Chatter

    I am sure I once saw a reference that the Cockleshells used IR signalling. But could never find any details - pity. Originally the only defence application for IR was not for night vision, but for clandestine signalling & to that end in the 1920s the Admiralty were the only arm of service that saw any potential in researching & developping systems. Can anyone else recall references to IR for Cockleshell?

    Nope
  11. fv1609
    No but that sort of era.
  12. fv1609
    Nope

    Yes Tony well done, but why did you take so long? I mean that was 5 minutes ;-) OK Now what sort of vehicle is it attached to? The tyre marks may give a clue, or they may not. 8-)
  14. fv1609
    Nope
  15. fv1609
    Oh goodness knows :dunno: What I do know is when the farrier comes & leaves nails in the drive for me to drive over that makes very :argh:
  16. fv1609
    Yes I wasn't sure whether someone might have thought it was RAMC, given the jpg title might have confused some.

    Robert well deduced, you are pretty well correct. This is Lt Col W F N Watson RAEC Staff Officer No. 1 Group giving elocution exercises. In 1954 he travelled to regular & TA units of Anti-Aircraft Command in the SE. The article says "Students are told that bad enunciation is largely due to carelessness & the English tendency to speak with a rigid jaw & a stiff upper lip as though they had a pipe clenched between their teeth." The class here were receiving jaw loosening exercises.

    I little bit further back & you could be right.
  23. fv1609
    Goodness me, I don't know how it got called that ;-) Have you been peeping Neil? :-D
  24. fv1609
    There is a strand of truth in what you say, I need to go back to source & check out to what extent. Back later on!
  25. fv1609
    Nope well they certainly don't look very happy, especially her not joining in.
