This is a British SLC radar receiver used early in the war. Some sets and a manual were captured at Singapore and fom the data the Japanese Army developed their Mark 4 Mod 3 radar from these. the pic shows the Receiver, there is a separate transmitter.

Was this radar used only in combination with this searchlight ??
Any idea about the predictors of my earlier posts ??

Re: Id. british equipment
It looks like a 150 cm however it was also mounted on the 90 cm also. It was generally called just SLC in most publications I have seen. Its official nomenclature was "SLC AA NO 2 MARK 1 OR 2". I cannot distinguish between the two marks. I have very little on the AA predictors and cannot help on those.

Re: Id. british equipment
Re your director picture with the women operators I believe it to be a Vickers PREDICTOR NO 1 MARK III belonging to a 3.7 inch AA battery.

In this case a;most certainly being used by AA. However, I believe it was a fairly general purpose gene.

I cannot recall the name of the camera but it was for tracking and photographing the shots of the guns.

Assuming the guy is of average height I would say that is a Tallboy.Sturm78 wrote:Hi all,

Wiki lists the length at 21 ft, as opposed to 26-1/2 for the Grand Slam
The bomb's length appears to be a bit more than 3x the guy's height
