RAF NBC comms unit
Surely you don't mean the phone the size of 3 house bricks in a large suitcase, such as I had as an NBC Emergency Call out team leader in about 1990 (came as an add-on to being OC Handbrake House at W....n).

So Courtney you finally moved the AR5 set up out of the bedroom?
Whooooooooa, a HG test cabinet. Much smaller than the three VW Beetle size test rigs for the Typhoon (that do the same job..). Coat, Hat..etc.
I'll keep my eyes open for an NBC unit.

What was the smaller grey box that you could run a quick Bonedome test on ? I seem to remember one of the checks outside twiddling the knob to go through headset continuity ... there was a small shrouded contact spike that allowed the mic connecting plug and socket to undergo a screen test ... IIRC you touched the solder blob on the mic lead and it a green light ... if think ... a long time ago

Coff - Electicrial test set type 376 I first used one in 1959 at RAF Barkston Heath, it could be used as a stand alone item or it was fitted into the Godfery test cabinet.

Is that picture at Waddo? If so, when?
Ancient Squipper might just recognise the Cpl
Looks like the Sqn Badge is for 44(Rhodesia) Sqn at Waddo in 63/5 along with 101 & 50 Sqns

Could be 27 Squadron - is that Jumbo green or grey?
or brown?
27 were at Scampton in the early 60's
My picture editor says grey, but that doesn't seem to clarify it.

Morning Chaps ...
I believe the image comes from "No Claims Bonus" (1961), a short RAF film about the Nuclear Deterrent ... so that would make it 27 Squadron at Scampton (Green Jumbo). The original pic was posted by PPRuNer ZH875 back in Dec 2011.
