Instant nostalgia !
K'sar in the 50s and the last of the Lancs was scrapped locally, when the Lincolns, then the Shacks took over. We needed a local CW radio setup for short range comms so the 54/55 were stripped out. Inside a Lanc with OAT at well over 100 was ... interesting !! Piccy 5, above, shows the working area !
Quite exceptional engineering skills which ought to be treasured but will never (in this country) be accorded the esteem reserved for unmade beds !
