Further to my posts #11049 and #11055 above - "After I'd painted it (with a 3-ins paintbrush!) it looked much better - and no XX's on the windows!"
This is a listing with photos of where I used my VHF/DF skills in the RAF between 1951 and 1959.
5 FTS RAF Thornhill 1951 - 1953
Thornhill VHF/DF Homer
After being hit by a Harvard that drifted on a night take-off. Aircraft survived with a dent in it's wing whilst the VHF/DF operator was shocked, but unhurt.
Temporary VHF/DF station flown down from Fayid in the Canal Zone
Silverstead Fixer near RAF Biggin Hill 1953 - 1956
No free milk!
RAF Bovingdon 1956
No photo of the RV105 that was used to provide cross-bearings to aircraft on approach to RAF North Weald, but it was on the airfield just visible where the arrow points to it.
Bovindon ATC had a CR/DF just off the airfield with a repeater in the tower. This is in the CR/DF building.
RAF Negombo and RAF China Bay 1956 - 1957

This was my last posting as a RT VHF/DF operator as in late 1959 I remustered as an AQM (Loadmaster) and joined 99 Squadron at RAF Lyneham.
