Radar Vehicles
I've just put a post on the History & Equipment forum about the Canadians on Radar project.
Heres some of the photos relating to that - first one is a fairly straightforward Bedford MW radio body being used as a workshop vehicle for testing Oboe radar fitted to pathfinder mosquuito aircraft. The exciting thing for me about this one is that the man in the photograph actually e-mailed me the picture

Two more - not in the book/website. These were sent to me by Alfred Cassidy and show two views of the vehicle train for AMES9442 mobile Oboe unit [Oboe was used as a target designator for bombing missions]

One more for tonight - two installed Oboe radar trailers - looks to me like they use the same trailer/cabin as AA No3 Mk2 radar

That's interesting Kieth, any idea of the vehicle's purpose - I would assume radar servicing but what about the two triangles at the rear which apperar to hinge up and down?
Here's a couple more from the book/site - first another targeting/navigation radar a mobile Eureka-H unit and then an early Ground Controll of Approach unit (colour suggests post war but were used at the end of the war) Noel

Just to clarrify - I have no connection with the Canadians on Radar project - I found the website on which scanned copies of the books had been posted and asked the authors if they had any better copies of the photographs - first three are from this enquiry the others are my best sttempt to clean up immages from the pdf files.
I do have their permission to post these immages. Noel
