Check the garden wall Richard! :-D You might find something on the lawn! Reminds me of a triple nine call I took. Weather like this. A lady phoned up on a Sunday morning. The kids had ben giving her hell being stuck in the house. She had finally lost it and dragged them out of the front room up to their bedrooms demanding that they tidy up. Just as they got to the top of the stairs there was tremendous crash. A car had left the road and come through the wall into the front room.

Yes Mike, which is why despite, proably through Enigma intercepts, the British knew the aircraft was from a special service squadron. The story comes from a TV interview with R. V. Jones. The crew were plaxced in a bugged room (So un British!) Where the remark was heard. This lead to every part of the radio equipment was tested and checked to the enth degree. That's when the modifications were noticed.

I have the number of tanks deployed somewhere. Most were French Renaults I belive. a lot of the original turrets mounted 37 and 47 mm guns and some were only machine guns. These were removed and mounted on various fortifications.

Just a quick clip including a shot of SP guns. They look to be running along the coast road near La Haule in jersey. Odd as the rest of teh clip cover 'The Other Place'. http://www.sms.cam.ac.uk/media/1080737 Most of the clips appear to come from a film made by the Ministry of Information just post war.

Is Bakerlite still in production? As an aside, what are the dust risks of machining any of this stuff?

The Knickerbine system was discovered after a microphone picked up a remark by a German aircrewman saying 'The Brititsh will never find it'. The result was every piece of radio equipment was gone over again. The Loran navigation system was found to be very sensitive and outside the usuaul frequency.

Thanks, now where can I find a couple?:-D

It wasn't that British radar was any better, or worse than German stuff. It was the way it was employed. German controllers used a box system. One fighter One Radar, One controller. As a rauid left a box another aircraft took over. Britain used a larger Sector system, with a controller able to call on any forces within that sector, or aquire units from outside. These units were then tasked to a and raid and operated autonmously.

Tried it with a can of soup once. Got told by an 'Old Soldier', 'Dent top of tin before you put it on'. Stuck under the manifold of an old dumper truck we used round the stables. Didn't work. Mind you the bang and suden spray of contents could help consipation. (How I survied childhod I do wonder :-D)
