The Aerial Base is the standard No.8.

The next piece is "Adapter, Aerial, No.1" ZA.27220 which _is_ wartime issue and killed off the phantom "Aerial Base No.19" that someone here discovered a teleprinter message from London admitting that only a single prototype had been made! (It carried on well into the modern era but has possibly been killed off by BOWMAN - they were certainly issued with Larkspur installation kits and the only difference is the earlier ones marked ZA.27220 and the later ones with larger numbers showing the last 7 digits of the NATO Stock Number.

The 'F' rod diameters didn't change, so it would fit anything up to Aerial Base No.31 Mk.7 and be useful for laying the aerial flat when required.

Best regards,
Chris.
