Bemærk knytnæven med 3 lyn på hans
skulder for at
vise, at han var radio-telegrafist. Omkring 1944. Kabinen var
opvarmet, derfor ikke varmt tøj.

Notice the clenched fist with 3 flashes on his shoulder to show that he was a
Wireless
Operator, about 1944.
By 1943 the cabin positions were usually
heated, and the crew did not require the layers of clothing that were
worn by Air Gunners.
This Wireless Operator works with a
T1154 Transmitter. The
layout of this radio equipment shows it to be the same as a Halifax set
up, Brian Walters stated.
Brian Walters worked with the T1155
Receiver and T1154 Receiver in the late 1960's. He added, "I've even
been "bitten" by the hight voltage power supply unit for the
transmitter, a 1200 volt electric shock! I ended up sitting in the
corner at the other side of the room wondering how on earth I got
there!" |
