Halfpenny at War

Out for a spin in Black SAABath I came across:


Not often you meet a one of these in rural Staffordshire

uhhhh - even more unexpected


That's more like it

A WS18 - my uncle carried one of these around for much of the war and for a bit of a fast-stroll up a beach in June 6th 1944 - this one still works complete with headphones and choice of hand held or throat-mike.  It weighs about 30lb - but there is also the generator that your buddy has to lug around for you.
