Default Re: Wind-up Radio?

A Gibson Girl transmitter is also shown in use in the film "Island in the Sky", made in 1953 and starring John Wayne. This is based on a true story of a C-47 downed in the wilds of Labrador.

I have a couple of the collapsible box kites that were part of the survival kit, along with a hydrogen generator and a balloon to elevate the aerial.

Cheers

Roger
