Richard Farrant Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Jules, I blew that last pic up (ker-boom!) and I think the front truck is an MW with an E body. You can see the sloping bonnet, footstep and fuel tank, plus the right hand door is open too, so that truck (whatever is it) has 2 doors on the back I think.... def has no ladder or room for one... Simon, Without enlarging the photo, I was certain that is a MW with the house body. This is a postwar photo of vehicles that were transfered to the Danish Army.

Runflat Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Jules, I've found another picture of a light warning body, which I'd forgotton about. Get hold of Classic Military Vehicle magazine #32 (Jan 2004) and look at page 36. It's a Guy rather than a Fordson, but nice view of the aerial set-up. These people may be able to help as well: http://www.qsl.net/pe1ngz/signalscollection.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runflat Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I don't have a scanner, but probably copyright issues to publish here. If someone else could copy and send Jules a discrete PM etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedawnpatrol Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 I thought some might be interested to see just how many men it takes to erect a light warning aerial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 They look very much like DF or tight beanm dirctional ariels. The Funny looking V shaped thing could well be a microwave experimental vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 In another thread, someone mentioned the HEM Museum. This is from their site: http://www.hem-usa.org/cgi-bin/radar-kiosk-more-info.cgi?ki_id=148 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jcpdw Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 new picture of a light warning body on a cmp truck. I found this pisture and I think you can see that the mast for the radar antenna is sticking out of the roof for a little part. so this makes the putting up of the rest of the antenna whitch is stored on the roof easier. cheers jaap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedawnpatrol Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Thanks for that photo Jaap, it is interesting to see how the mast is stowed, I bet there is an instruction book out there somewhere showing just that ! Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jcpdw Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 goodday jules. I have a question is it possible when you are near your truck to take some pictures of the side window frames of the body for me. :bow: I don't have them on mine body so I want to know how they look and how they where made so I can make repro's. I hope you have the time to take the pictures cheers jaap :tup:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedawnpatrol Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hi Jaap, Will do it tonight/tomorrow and post them here. Regards Jules goodday jules.
