When I was an apprentice at BAC, one of our drafties, Dave Booth, had been a wireless operator on Pathfinders. He told us that the wierdest piece of kit he tried was a system that puffed out pink smoke in response to a morse key. The idea being it would give a point to form up on without the tell tale radio traffic.
