It is what your packet of ciggies look like following bar closing time in a night out in Lincoln.

[Halton Brat]

I do believe that the item is the Radar Warning Receiver from the Wiggins Aerodyne F2.........

[bobward]

Captain Kirk's communicator??
:sad:

[cazatou]

It looks like a Mk2 Thingumajig.

[Lukeafb1]

It's my U.S. Air Force identity card. And I want it back!!!

The picture, on the other hand, looks like it might be a correction card for a (standby?) magnetic compass.

[BEagle]

No, it's a SEAL Team 6 ID card - which was probably dropped by someone faffing with a hand-portable DME in foggy weather somewhere in Scotland.......:ooh:

























No, of course it isn't. It probably something which belonged to Group Captain Winnek Wolfet of the 12th Navigation Command when she landed the little green men to harrass weird Wally!

Anyone recognise this?


.............No!

[higthepig]

Yez.













Do I win a prize?

[jindabyne]

BEags - don't encourage :rolleyes:

Like others, I suspect you are asking about something related to Chinook. The compass correction card suggestion seems a good one.

Having now read what I think is the main technical submission to Lord Philip, I suggest you keep plugging away, but always bearing in mind one undeniable fact. The entire navigation system, not just your suspect system, had no operational clearance and was not to be relied upon in any way whatsoever. Maybe someone from the offices of ACAS and Group Safety would care to say why this fact was not passed to aircrew and, subsequently, the investigations. The submission to Philip demonstrates it was passed to ACAS. This single fact places the crews’ request for a Mk1 in an entirely different light and makes the claim about poor legal advice even more risible.

It's not that ring of lights they chucked in a Puma that could detect power cables, worked a treat until the Lecky board decided to play dirty and turned the supply off for maintenance..

[Vim_Fuego]

Where did you get it from?

[A2QFI]

It is a poor, low resolution blurred image of something boring and unidentifiable

[The Old Fat One]

At first glance I thought it was a packet of Russian condoms. Realising it is not I began to lose......ZZZzzzzzzz

[Bertie Thruster]

Hostile fire indicator. Could be used to (very inaccurately) 'home' at low level and high speed to a man hidden in fog on the side of a hill, if he was firing a machine gun at the aircraft.

Or front page of a UFO manual?

[LurkerBelow]

A motor control rheostat circa pre 1940s ???

[Fareastdriver]

An aboriginal water rehydrator.

[walter kennedy]

Theses should help - two pix of HC2 Chinook left hand pilot's console - oh and the number of segments doesn't seem applicable to a compass card but ....

The clue is in the file name:

Here's where it comes from:

Actually, it's like a lie detector in reverse - the whole post was an honesty detector - and it worked.


After all these years, the detail would hardly be of security interest and yet none of you would/could identify an innocuous panel that was prominent, right next to the flight instruments, on Flt Lt Tapper's console.


When you can be so gagged , whatever the circumstances, you are imprisoned in your own skull.
No wonder the “Chinook” thread stalled debate for so long.
The moderator is welcome to take this thread down now.

[BEagle]

Walter, perhaps you'd like to ask Elvis, JFK or John Lennon? They're looking for a fourth to play golf on the moon, so if you speak nicely to SEAL Team 6, I'm sure they'd arrange for some little green men to whisk you away.

Or maybe we should just send for the men in white coats?

Walter
I think the truth is that the quality of the photo is so crap that no-one could be bothered
