Period Radio sets attached to PMRs (or better)
I have one made up... I have the parts on the way to make a second one.
I just need to buy some decent radios! Or do I just use the Licensed ones I have?
the 5w comms we all bought to use at IED struggle to make the distance through the terrain .
Field telephones...
I fancy the wind up type... lol

I'm going ot talk ot Gliderider re this V1 prop . I'd be happier making it myself but will let you know how discussions go.
I'm seeing Syd on the 13th May ot go through building a V1 . I'm not convinced it's best for him to do it, prop building requires a half decent workshop, and a lot of tools and meterials which I don't think he has . Still I'll give him some plans and see what he comes up with . If it's not working by second week June at least I'll have some time to bang one together myself .
The speed you "bang stuff together" I don't see a problem.
Syd can't possibly have a decent workshop... I just don't believe it.
Mind you he does keep on surprising me in various ways. lol
Field telephone guy just got back to me:
Sorry for my late reply, we have just had a baby so no time left to do
anything else such as eat, sleep, work....I have the field telephones type L or Type J available. They cost
We've not the budget for it at CR .
At most I've got is
German field telephones,

nice find cw!!! ![]()
Hmmm, tempting ! . No real need for them at CR, but they would look flash as a flash thing .
We could use them ot order the takeaways perhaps.
Discuss more on Thursday the small budgte is disabling at the mo.
We should have charged more....
