I think it means 'Wireless Telegraphy' so it may refer equipment stowage or the presence of high-voltage aerials.
A work colleague of mine (long deceased now) who was a W/T operator on Sunderlands once told me the following tale.
On a Sunderland, the aerial wire ran from the fin to an aerial mast on the top of the fuselage. On day, an 'erk' was crossing the from one wing to the onther and rather than walk forwards and round the mast, he chose to swing his leg over the aerial wire. It was at this moment that my colleague decided to press the transmit button
Well it was a HF set and there was a lot of volts coming out of it.
