Book. WW2 Signal Corps history

[Ken Smith]

Good day,
The Landrover FFR EW on page 541 is the one I own, unfortunately the photo is in negative form but the ARN 33-833 is clearly visible and I am greatful for that. A better photo is on page 505 but no ARN.

It is interesting that other mistakes have been found in the story as the author states that the Landrover EWs were not a success and were stripped upon arrival back in Australia and the equipment fitted into modules on Mogs.

I do have other photos of the Landrovers in the bush no ARNs visible.
I do believe though they would have been a pig to drive with the heavy antenna protection fitted to the top.
The antenna alone was worth a million dollars without any other equipment.

3 Series 3 FFR Landrovers were shipped to Nashua in New Hampshire U.S.A. and the shelters and EW equipment were fitted there. I don't know how many Mogs went there to have their equipment fitted.
A few 1 ton generator trailers are visible in photos on the old 7 Signal Regiment/ 72 EW Squadron site.
