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

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

Captain Kirk's communicator??
:sad:

cazatou 27th Oct 2011 12:47

It looks like a Mk2 Thingumajig.

Lukeafb1 27th Oct 2011 13:26

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

MrBernoulli 27th Oct 2011 14:38

A spelling mistake? :rolleyes:


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

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!

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..

Where did you get it from?

A2QFI 28th Oct 2011 09:10

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

The Old Fat One 28th Oct 2011 09:12

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

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?

A motor control rheostat circa pre 1940s ???

Fareastdriver 28th Oct 2011 12:38

An aboriginal water rehydrator.

walter kennedy 28th Oct 2011 16:19

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 ....
