morse1001 is on a distinguished road
This is the Wop Shop a lanc of around 1945.

The main MF/HF radio, the TR1154/55 is on the right handside. The R1155 is at the bottom, whereas, on the halifax it was at the side!

To the left of the radio is the Fishpond radar plotter. This derived its signal from the main H2S scanner as was used to spot enemy aircraft below the aircraft.

The circular box above that is the switching box and is linked to the 1154/55 and was used for D/F purposes. The R1155 used valve 9 (CV1102) for D/F!
