Sure. I was intending to but giving him some time to reply first.

OK, no reply so therefore I'll pose the next question.

Who can ID this piece of equipment?

by **Brian Ross** on 04 Dec 2006 04:47

No takers? Hint #1

It was usually ship mounted...

by **edward_n_kelly** on 04 Dec 2006 05:48

Fog horns?

Or are they Tannoys?

No. Keep trying. Another hint tomorrow if no one solves it.

Hint #2 - One trumpet was for "talking" the other trumpet was for "listening".

Hint #3 - It could find you in the dark.

Oh, well, appears no one got the clues. Its a Japanese Radar Set - Type II Mark 2.

Anybody else care to make a question?

Next Question: "the campaign to isolate the neutralise the Japanese base at Rabaul in New Britain was called??

Hi Edward,

That's the one I was looking for, so over to you!

What was the answer from the CO of 24 SQN RAAF at Rabaul in 1942 when he received orders from RAAF Melbourne to remain and fight though his squadron was down to 1 (damaged) Hudson and 2 (damaged) Wirraways ?

Yes.

Many survived through escaping to new Guinea but many were caught and massacred at Tol and Waitavalo Plantations on 4FEB42.

To you good sir....

Australians generally call red-headed men, "Blue". Who was the Australian officer who was an exception?
