Default Another British set.

Here's a British set made by Aeronautical and General Instruments Ltd, so I guess some Brit units made it to Canada. I didn't think the stand looked like a Brit one but after checking again they're the same as the Aussie ones.
The wireless trucks would have had them for when they set up remotely but I haven't seen any British pics like that ( but some Aussie pics). They must have stored the stand in the compartment behind the operator in the wireless trucks.
Do we know how many companies manufactured these radios? The only other that I know of is EK Cole. The one at Blanford Camp Museum is made by Aeronautical and General Instruments Ltd
I just paypaled him the payment for this set so I should have it by Monday.
I guess I'm one of a select few owners of a Brit 11 set.
The Aussie set will go in the Carrier when I get around to it.
