Default Re: Lancaster Bomber Radio signals and communications.

I think I'm right that the article in the VMARS magazine mentioned in post #2 was a reprint of the article originally published in Radio Bygones.

'When the pilot was talking with other aircraft could this be heard by the rest of the crew?' is an interesting question. My first reaction is probably yes, because he only had one microphone (in his oxygen mask) and I don't think it could be switched between the TR9 (and successors) and the intercom system. But it warrants a closer look at the aircraft wiring diagram, including checking the way that the Plugboard Type 192 (mounted by the WOp) interconnects the two Comms Systems and the Intercom.
