Er, why is someone from Spain posting a picture which is (or was) classified S UK EYES B?
Should this thread be allowed to continue? If not why not? It's out there now. How did Javie get hold of this in the first place? What else has he got hold of? And how?
Fuel the Omega, there's a road trip on the cards.

So when we produced this secret document, was it a cunning plan to misspell aerial to confuse the enemy if it ever fell into their hands...
And what was the dimension of the gap between the 6 inch and 30 inch section, or was that covered on the top secret drawing?

It is about the size and shape of a typical EPIRB from a small sailing yacht. There are a lot of different models on the market, some that resemble it closely in shape, though most are brightly coloured.
However, some more budget conscious militaries just use commercially sourced EPIRBS and paint them olive.
Could be that it is a description of an EPIRB that somebody observed while out sailing in a contentious area (Falklands?) and reported to the authorities - this would explain the amateurish sketch and mis-spelling of "aerial".
The "Secret - UK Eyes B" may have been added later by people who had no idea what it was, but passed it on to cover their arses.

Thanks to all for the answers.
With regard to the drawing, it belongs to a disqualified document. Because of it I have it.
The intention is not to discover mas of what says the document. Only to know if an AN SSQ41 for the measures

or it came from a student's classified note book which allowed him (her) to take notes of a classified nature during a lesson. Such books were often produced with the maximum allowed classification already on each page.

Has to be stude's notes, and not a very bright stude either. The captions have been written using a ruler to prevent the biro from wandering. I only ever saw stackers using that technique 
Or, someone spotted it floating in the sea and made the sketch with estimated dimensions to report it. Judging by the spelling and handwriting, it must have been a Royal Navy officer.
