Default Anyone recognise this PMR set?

Seen on an episode of The Sweeney, the one where they are raiding a bank and Regan has to shack up with an old brass,

thought it was a Pye Bantam at first but seems not.

Anyone recognise it?

Definitely not a Bantam.

It has a sort-of Storno look to it.

with a built in aerial and a SO239 socket and a meter, all looks a bit CB-ish to me.

I think it's one of the GEC RC660P range:

The hint for me is the rectangular "thing" on the front with a turnbuckle, below the main row of controls - which turns out to be an exchangeable battery-holder.

Glad to have helped ID it for you. Reason I said Storno at first was that I was thinking of the CQP632:
