Can anyone identify this?
 
Hi there,

Hope this is the right place to post. I am trying to identify an item in the website attached which was discovered in a canal bed at Dunsfold Aerodrome. The image of interest is the fourth one along in the top row:
The Derelict Miscellany :: R(C)AF Dunsfold

Does anyone know what it is exactly? It looks like something you would find on an aircraft panel but thought this would be the best place to see what others know. I gather that Mustang I's and B-25's were based out of Dunsfold.

Any info on this would be much appreciated.

It requires flash, can you post a pic ?

I'm not quite sure how to do that to be honest. I notice the insert image tab brings up a url but not sure how that works for an image in a flash. I tried to source the original but cant get it right now.

Could it be part of some type of wireless set? Or possibly test set. See the following Set WS62 Mk2 1945 the mic/tels leads seem similar, I am not saying it is a WS62 but possibly something similar

That's great thanks. There are some features there that are very similar.

Many thanks. :)

Found this photograph of Wireless Set 22 which looks closer to the remains found at Dunsfold.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...pskgbkc7xe.jpg
The WS-22 was used as a "general purpose" transceiver with low power developed in 1942.
The device has two communication methods, radio telephony and CW.
The set could be vehicle mounted or worn as a "manpack '.
