I acquired a few avionics bits and pieces in September 2008 and I'll shortly photograph these and add some words of explanation about each piece.. assuming I can identify it, and here, any help would be appreciated!

Get your thinking caps on... esp if you were in the RAF in the 60s and 70s

Item 1

RF Amplifier Type A8281. RAF part number 10U/17211

Part of a Canberra avionics package?

Item 2

Amplifier Type A401/3, part number 5CZ/4337553

Made by Ultra

Is this the heart of an audio distribution system?

Item 3

Transmitter/Receiver and Antenna Type No. 9307MR1

Made by Decca Navigator

Is this a radar altimeter?

Item 4

Flight Director Type ZL2. flight computer, part 19616-0

RAF part number 6A/8768

Made by Marconi and cooled? via a high pressure hose

Is this based on the ill-fated 4080 computer used in the Nimrod?

Nope... I took the lid off and inside were rows and rows of valves.

Either the GEC 4080 computer didn't use transistors, or it's not a 4080 computer.

Item 5

A small radar display made by AEG Telefunken marked Item RDSU, D3683

Part number V22.602.2-0ZG1, C model type 4

Panavia spec SP-P-970148

Item 6

Small black box carrying label "S/No V41"

Item 7
