The VHF set crystals were valued £10 each! Depending upon the units mission, the unit 'Crystal Bank' could be worth a lot of money.
The biggest one I had responsibility for was at Dishforth, then a Transport Command station with Beverley's and Hasting's. The 'Xtal Fit' depended upon the destination and route. So we had many options.
Back to thread:
I've always considered the Cuban Crises a suitable climax to my 1st posting on 214 Sqdn at Marham.
After 3 years and 8 months I was posted to Akrotiri at a very significant time.
By the time I had got my 'Blue Card' filled in, and wife & I settled in a rented house in Limmasol, it was all a case of 'What Crises'?'
