Also the signals repair body in your pic was later tranferred to International MK3 2.5 Ton 4x4 cargo trucks and deployed to South Vietnam in support of 1ATF.

Andrew T in Adelaide licated one of those bodies in restorable condition in the Adelaide hills but despite it’s oriority use as a goat shed the iwner would not oart with it. It remains beside a main road rusting.

I have a Mk3 and would dearly love to find a signal repair shop body for it.

Hi Phill
With a puny 4 to 5 Watts RF output the 19 set would struggle to jam any transmission that was of higher power output. Even the HP version would be of doubtful use in the jamming role. Might work if the enemy transmission was within a few miles distance.

OK on the Signals repair body , I've not seen that type of setup. I guess they were using Larkspur sets in 1962.
