Afternoon all,

New resource online -
'The What’s New pages of the PastScape website have recently been updated with an article commemorating the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Second World War;
ttp://www.pastscape.org.uk/News.aspx?id=NewsItem14.

The article explores the various themes and types of Second World War
heritage sites that have been recorded in the last 20 years and a number of interesting examples are highlighted. In a follow up to the successful HER Summer Forum on recording military sites, a news item also features on the Heritage Gateway website, reviewing the thematic surveys undertaken by staff at the National Monuments Record (NMR) to record 20th century military sites. This aims to provide all heritage professionals and those involved in recording military heritage with an overview of the content and scope of the recording projects carried out by the NMR up to now, and those which are on-going.

PastScape is the online version of the national historic environment record curated by the National Monuments record (NMR).'

Well worth a look.

British Air Ministry equipment numbers table.....


Amazing table in wich presentation I readed, few minutes ago, isn't mine.....

Here is my attempt to compile a list of the Air Ministry equipment numbers and some notes about what they were.

WWII military aircraft equipment is mainly built in a modular fashion, so that power units, aerial connections, control panels etc. could be varied according to the detail of the installation, which itself was given an ARI number. Most of the main equipment numbers refer to either receivers or transmitters and are the main functional parts of the installation. Other modules, such as power units, were numbered using a different system, often by numeric type number. Note that some transponders seem to have been numbered like receivers possibly to confuse the enemy.
