Adrian Barrell Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 If it's an aircraft tug, presumably they are FOD boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 The badge reads 'MINITUG' if that means anything to anyone. The larger boxes appear to have 4 lights, the smaller ones 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25 pounder Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 The badge reads 'MINITUG' if that means anything to anyone. The larger boxes appear to have 4 lights, the smaller ones 2. Are those lights ment for guidance-signalling airplanes on the airfield ??? just a guess !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poptopshed Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Pigeons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Pigeons! CORRECT!!:yay: They are Britsh Military Carrier pigeon boxes! Suprisingly I was told they finally went out of use in the early 1960's. As an aside, during the Occupation it was illegal to keep Pigeions in Tthe Channel Islands.
