Re post no. 596: michamoo - the 'X' is indeed an early design of folded - dipole aerial. It was known as a Dublex, but it was a Band I design and so was for the BBC transmissions. However the box-like structure below it is more puzzling. It is not clear from the photo whether it is a Band III cubical quad design - or whether it is the dipole and reflector of a Group A, UHF, J. Beam Parabeam design.
