Mk3iain Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 What do these plug into I wonder ? Were they used on the 432 ? Does anybody know... Quote

Never had these in my Spartan and I don't recall seeing them in 1980s 432 (where shouting was very much the order of the day). No apparent microphone; so whoever wore them was 'on receive'. They look a bit dainty so, maybe the fourth emergency service? However, they also look relatively uncomfortable: so probably Army . . . Quote

Looking closer at them it looks like a tube rather than cable, so a simple voice-tube system. Never seen that in use, or the vehicle fit and certainly no a/c I have worked with. Strange.... Quote

Like the Gosport tubes on pre-War flying helmets? <https://bid.candtauctions.co.uk/lot-details/index/catalog/88/lot/27109/1930-s-Lewis-Style-Flying-Helmet-with-Gosport-Tubes> Quote

Adrian Dwyer Posted January 21, 2024 Author Posted January 21, 2024 Someone must recognise this? Quote
Adrian Dwyer Posted January 21, 2024 Author Posted January 21, 2024 Through the wonders of google, there is also an electrical version - manufactured by C&S Ltd. Never seen that either. <https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285592660626?chn=ps&_ul=GB&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1n5lhi2dqSyCmNOpv3CQySw47&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=285592660626&targetid=1647205088280&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9044867&poi=&campaignid=19688986533&mkgroupid=146538074536&rlsatarget=pla-1647205088280&abcId=9307891&merchantid=114894391&gclid=Cj0KCQiAnrOtBhDIARIsAFsSe53LAA8JA1MhseMkqj26FIE779l9_T4fGID8eGh2CIMAdoOtIEbdXjsaAog4EALw_wcB> Quote
