dont suppose you have any coordinates, or a nice google map spot? thanks BB

anybody know where the WWI airfield at la noblette france was? thanks BB

in reasearching the K-list, I learned more about radars than I ever wanted to know. now I imagine your going to get to be the wolds formost expert on the SCR-270 :-D weather you want to be or not. it would be interesting to find out how many of those made it to GB. I would imagine a trailer mfgr. could build you a body for 20,000 G. or so. especcally if you could find an old flatbed to salvage for the floor. BB

as far as production numbers go, I found this list of hood numbers. that was published for black out lights. http://books.google.com/books?id=K5-_RMzKdMQC&pg=PA214&dq=k-18+gmc+truck#v=onepage&q=&f=false I used it to find numbers for the K-18 truck. maybe if you can find the book or a copy of the complete list, it would have somthing. BB

if you go to the K-list I posted on wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._Signal_Corps_vehicles and scroll down to the V-list, look at V-12. I think after the SCR-270 became obsolete thay may have gutted the vans, and reused them for a parts truck for the AN/MPN radar. other than that I think thay were only used for the scr -270. gene helecksons mobile radar web site, has most of the SCR-270 configurations listed. http://www.mobileradar.org/radar_descptn_2.html http://www.mobileradar.org/gallery_index.html one thing i noticed , some vans have a square wheel well, and some have a round one. also I cant quite tell if the section above the wheel well opens up or not. BB

any body know where you could pick up a starter? thanks BB

looks like sombody put up TM 9-252 http://www.hnsa.org/doc/boforstm252/index.htm BB

page I posted to wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-52_trailer jump in and edit away. BB

the big collector in lovland (outside fort collins ) is russ morgan. next time your in town give us a shout. well take you through "russ morgans tank farm and weasle emporium". funny , another car dealer we know is dan emich there probably big competitors. BB

what I do is go to wikipedia and look up scr-270 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCR-270 than scroll to the bottom for the links. I dont have a subscription to supply line right now either. I herd about it through the local club. http://mvcconline.org/ fred laperier is an old fart who doesent answer e-mail but i think i have his phone number. heres the hem museum. http://www.hem-usa.org/ it would require a real international effort with lots of do-ray-me to put the unit back togeather again. I'v talked to the guys at the museum, and there a shoestring opperation, it just kills me that the antenna is being used for a pigon crapper. is this your thread on the cckw forum? http://cckw.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2472&p=12469&hilit=autocar#p12469 BB

its a ww1 rig possibly mounted on a liberty truck. details are perty sketchy. evedently parked at airfields for como with airplanes? SCR-68? If youv got the time this is a good read. http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015062770162 plots a little thin BB

WOW, nice find, you probably know that the HEM museum has the only surviving SCR-270 array. well guess what theres another chasis here in denver. actually its for sale in supply line. but its missing its box also. dont know if its a K-30, K-31, or K-62,, I think its a 43, wich makes me think its a K-62 but who knows. theres some good pics on the fort gorden website. BB

anybody got one? thanks BB

thanks, that seems to have, worked more better. BB

well I dont know, every time i try to write more than one sentance I get kiked out. is there a timer on this thing or somthing? BB

dont know tried to edit it, got kicked off, had to sign back in, must be pushing some buttons wrong somewhere. BB

guess im to used to the PHP software on the dodge forum BB

dont know I seem to be having trouble running this software? BB

whats going on, down there in the lowlands? testing one two three. ok one more time. i'm en electrician by trade, have been in the hoby for 20+ years. and I usually hang out on the ww2dodge forum. I also like to tinker with wikipedia, but I'm not a tech. writer . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Brian_in_denver my first resoration was a 37mm. towed gun, currently I have a WC-4 I'm trying to get rid of. I know a few things about signal corps stuff, if you need any help in that area. BB
