It started life as a Decca 424, and dates from the early to mid-fifties, so it is around 60 years old. Story goes that Dan-Air procured in the early seventies from an ex-Navy source. Sadly the long and short range tubes gave up the ghost in 2013, and were disposed of along with the control panel, but the the head and turning gear remain. I understand that the head was tidied up and re-coated.

It gets the jets in...when it's not raining...
