Supermarine Seafire
Radio R1147B
(No 1 Pg 1 Rad)
R1147B
Radio receiver as used in the Seafire
A/M 10D/13129
Here is a radio receiver used in the
naval variant of the Spitfire the Seafire.
Appears to be in
serviceable condition, complete in its original transit case. The frequency knob is
removed for transit but is included. It also comes complete
with its mounting tray. This receiver is tuned with a
winding handle inside the LHS of the Seafire cockpit
which are available on the radio pages.
You can read more about radios on
page 10 reference
section.
As early as 1938,
Supermarine had approached the Admiralty with a specifically
designed Naval version of the Spitfire.
However, due to
circumstances beyond their control, the Admiralty ordered
the Fairey Fulmar as the new aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm.
In February and May 1940 the Admiralty asked the Air
Ministry for Spitfires but on both occasions they were
turned down.
The Admiralty's need for a
capable carrier-based fighter to take up the task of
combating Japanese Zero's or Messerschmitt this need
eventually led to the Fleet Air Arm being provided with a
modified Spitfire to take up the combat roll.
As far as I am aware every
single Seafire ever produced was made at Westlands in Yeovil
Somerset which still exists as a Hellicopter factory.

Airspeed Oxford radio operators navigation table. (pg 1 rad)
This is a pretty rare find being an original
radio operators/navigators table.
Its obviously not in the best of shape and needs some
restoration, the honeycomb plywood writing table needs
attention but this will make a worthwhile project. The table
has an AS number indicating its made by Airspeed and almost
certainly Airspeed Oxford. It still has the fittings for the
headphone connection.

The Airspeed Oxford prototype first flew
on 19 June 1937 . When it entered service with the Central
Flying School in November of that year it became the Royal
Air Force’s first twin-engine monoplane advanced trainer.
The first Oxfords were intended for all aspects of aircrew
training including gunnery and had an Armstrong Whitworth
dorsal gun turret fitted. The turret was removed from later
versions and they were used mainly for pilot training. In
addition to their main role as trainers Oxfords were used as
air ambulances, communications aircraft and for ground radar
calibration duties.
It saw widespread use as an advanced trainer in the United
Kingdom, Canada, Southern Rhodesia, Australia, New Zealand
and the Middle East and in 1951 they received a new lease of
life as Flying Training Command expanded to train National
Service pilots.

R 1155 A Halifax radio receiver (pg1 rad)
This really is a superb
example of the R 1155 A radio receiver , this particular
model being suffix A was only fitted to the Halifax
Bomber.
I have never seen one
in its original transit case and it appears to be
completely original without any post war modifications
by amateur radio hams. Please enlarge all the pictures
to asses its excellent condition.

Shown above the Halifax Bomber.
The Halifax with the Lancaster shared the major burden
of Bomber Commands night bombing campaign against Nazi
Germany. Unlike the Lancaster, which only served as a
bomber during the war, the Halifax was used extensively
on other duties including glider-tug, agent dropping,
transport, general reconnaissance and in Coastal
Command. It was the second British four-engine bomber to
enter service in WWII. The first Halifax to bomb Germany
took part in a raid on Hamburg on 12th and 13th March
1941. Due to mounting losses of Halifax bombers they
were restricted to less hazardous targets from September
1943. However, between 1941 and 1945 the Halifax made
over 75,000 bombing sorties and dropped 227,610 tons
(231,300 tonnes) of bombs, more than a quarter of all
bombs dropped on Germany by the RAF. The Halifax was
being replaced as a front line bomber in 1945 but it
continued in service with Coastal and Transport Commands
after the war. The last operational flight was made by a
Coastal Command Halifax in March 1952 while operating
from Gibraltar.

Spitfire Radio TR 5043 (pg1 rad)

Click on
pictures to enlarge

TR5043
This is an
extremely rare and sort after original and complete TR5043. This particular
model was used by the RAAF.
The TR1143 was also a VHF set but the controller,
although of the pushbutton type had the round type plug on the reverse. I
understand that when the USA entered the war there came a need for common R/T
between American bombers and their RAF escorts. I suspect that at this point the USAAF was introduced to the TR1143. They took this and created the SCR-522 (24v)
and the SCR-542 (12v).
TR5043 (SCR-522/SCR-542)
Externally the TR1143 and the SCR-522 /542 were the same
and used common connecting plugs, fittings and leads. The internals were
slightly different though and I have heard that the build quality on the US sets
was superior - perhaps due to the materials and components available to them. At
some point the US supplied the SCR-522 back to the RAF on lend-lease under the
designation of TR5043. Air Ministry items produced on a lend-lease basis seem to
have both a items US & AM label on them.
The TR5043 (SCR-522/542) was used in later
Marks of
Spitfire, Mosquitoes and both the P47 and P51 when the latter took over the USAAF bomber escort from the RAF.

AP/1560

The Company
was started by
Teddy
Rosen in 1920 as Edward E. Rosen & Co.
manufacturing high quality headphones. In 1923 the company
moved to new premises at Harrow Road, London and in 1925 a
new company Ultra Electric Ltd. was formed. Ultra
introduced its first mains powered wireless set in 1931.
After further expansion the company moved to larger premises
at Erskine Road,
Chalk Farm,
NW3 in 1932 and also built a new 150,000 sq ft (14,000 m2)
factory at Western Avenue,
Acton,
W3 in 1935.[2]
Ultra manufactured a wide range of domestic radio receivers
including the Blue Fox, Lynx, Panther
and Tiger models.
In 1939 Ultra presented a television receiver to the market
for the BBC High Definition Television Service which
was transmitted on
405 lines
from the studios at
Alexandra
Palace, north London.
During
World War
II the company diversified into building tails
and bomb doors for the
Short
Stirling aircraft and clearly also continued to
produce radio equipment for the RAF.

Hallicrafters S27 Ultra High frequency communications receiver.(pg1 Rad)

This radio was requisitioned
by the Air ministry early in 1940 it being the only
commercially available radio receiver with a high enough
frequencies to detect the German navigation radar beams.
They were fitted in Avro Ansons enabling them to locate the
direction of the beams.
A
desirable piece
of Battle of Britain History.

Battle of the
beams
Churchill ordered a flight to
try to detect the beams. Avro Anson's were equipped with an
American Hallicrafters S-27 (then the only known
receiver capable of receiving the 40 MHz signal) The
Anson was far from ideal being slow, cold and extremely
noisy. It was the only aircraft capable of carrying the
radio set and the motor-generator set required to power it
that could be spared. The motor-generator was required
because the S-27 was a mains powered set but the Anson only
had a 28 volt DC electrical system.
The
German Lorenz
directed an aircraft down a line, so two crossed beams could
be used to fix a single spot. Several systems based on this
idea were studied through the 1930s. Lorenz had a range of
about 30 miles, enough for blind-landing but not good enough
for bombing raids over England.
In addition the beams of
Lorenz were deliberately set wide enough that they could be
easily picked up at some distance from the runway centre line,
but this meant their accuracy at long ranges was fairly
limited. This was not a problem for blind landing, where the
distance covered by the fan-shaped beams decreased as the
airplane approached the transmitters, but for use in the
bombing role this would be reversed and the system would
have maximum inaccuracy over the target.

RAF Signals Museum:
There was a need for increased frequency stability for the
TR9. Frequency drift resulted from vibration and temperature
changes during flight. In April 1937,
crystal control was applied to the TR9; that was then
designated the TR9C.
Later, to facilitate transmissions for Direction Finding
(DF) purposes within a flight of aircraft while still
allowing R/T contact to be maintained, a second frequency
channel was provided on the TR9; that became the TR9D.
The
proposed VHF set was to be built such that it would be
physically interchangeable with the TR9, so that the
aircraft fit could be changed from VHF to HF, and vice
versa, at short notice!
By the end of 1940, 41 fighter
squadrons were completely re-equipped with VHF equipment.
The AOC-in-C of Fighter Command gave instructions for the
remaining squadrons in the Command to be 'changed over to
VHF R/T' (sic) by 1 March 1941.

TR9D Radio set (pg 1 rad)
This is
the ultimate in aviation history when it comes to radio.
I have recently found this
superb TR9D in complete condition. I cannot be stressed to
highly how very rare these sets are and in 15 years this is
only the second set I have seen. The internals are present
although I am unable to test this radio.
On
aircraft containing a TR9 set the aerial would be strung between the aerial
mast and the tail plane.

The
TR9 would have started its operational career
fitted to either the
Gloster Gladiator which entered
service in 1937 the
very last of the RAF Bi planes
or in
December 1937-
No. 111 Squadron at Northolt takes delivery of the first
Hawker Hurricane
fighters these aircraft took part in the Battle of France.
Note
the aerial wire denoting that this aircraft has a TR9 fitted

In
1938 the Spitfire
entered service with No. 19 Sdr at
Duxford who fought in the Battle of Britain.
Note
the aerial wire denoting that this aircraft has a TR9 fitted

TR9
The RAF was using
TR9 sets in fighter aircraft including the Spitfire to provide an air-ground
and air-air R/T communications. The TR9 was an AM (i.e. not FM) set.
There was an electro-mechanical controller in the
cockpit to operate the set using Teleflex type cables.
The
TR9 (HF) set fitted to aircraft during
1932 and 1933 gave increased
range over that obtained previously - 35 miles air-to-ground
and 5 miles air-to-air being obtained.
At the time
in question, the sector commander or controller in the
operations room did not attempt to speak to the pilot of an
aircraft by radio telephone. Messages to pilots were written
on slips of paper and passed to R/T operators for
transmission. The R/T operators were specially chosen for
their clear enunciation and they sat in sound-proofed
enclosures.
In 1934, trials were carried
out in which controllers spoke directly to pilots - when the
trials proved successful, the practice was adopted in all
sectors.
There is
a reference to the need to make interceptions at ranges
greater than the 35 -40 miles R/T range of the TR9.
In January 1937 a requirement
for a range of 100 miles with aircraft flying at 5,000 feet
had been set out. In the meantime, 'the range deficiency of
the TR9 was overcome by using mobile ground R/T relay
stations, sited 30 or 40 miles forward of the sector RT
station'.
