Looking for copy of RAF Air Publication 2548A (R1155) - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

whitleyproject · 2nd Dec 2010, 8:48 pm

Tried to download one from the web but no luck. I am looking for vol 1, chapter five.

I am specifically interested in information on DF loop housing type 3.

Thanks to Tony H for suggesting this.

Is this the book that's as rare as hens teeth? If so I believe I may have it, if it's possible to scan that is.

PM me to remind and I will try and find it.

Thanks David and Andy

Yes, the original is probably rare. I wound document 38 on the royalsignals site previously, joined but cannot download it as I use a free email address. So close yet so far...

I just wondered if anyone here had a pdf file they could send email me if convenient.

Thanks for your help and advice.

Regards
Elliott

Try the VMARS site for AP1186 Vol 1 sec 3. This is the wartime publication for the R1155 and may have the information you are looking for.
Free download

Does your ISP not provide you with an email address? (Never used mine 'cos it's not particularly convenient), but as a work round here it may help......?

RobinBirch · 3rd Dec 2010, 4:16 pm

Let me look. I have a copy of the complete 1155/1154 manual and I scanned it a while ago. If it's got what you need where do I send it ?

Hi Robin

Thanks for the offer! My email address is: (Removed - please use the Private Message system for contact).

I've kept trying with the signals site but still no luck. The VMARS is great but they dont seem to have chapter five which is the bit I need unfortunately...

Thanks for all your help

Elliott,
"I've kept trying with the signals site but still no luck" - there is no point in this if you don't follow the rules exactly, including not using a free email address, you'll simply get 'locked out'. You've just got to bite the bullet and follow the rules, no exceptions.

Right, looked at computer at home and I have a complete scanned copy of AP2548 which has the chapter on types 3 and 4 DF antennas. It is about 15 Meg, what would be the easiest way of getting it to you?

Regards

Robin

Yes, I know that! I tried a non-free email address - still no luck.

PM sent Robin - thanks for taking the time to look.

Thanks to Tony H for suggesting this.

Send me details of your e-mail address.
I have a copy of this manual and a scanner.
It might take a day or two (a hospital trip), but I'll be on it "real soon".

Don't forget that you can get a copy of most air publications from the RAF Hendon archive.

Obviously they charge for the copying so you might want to check just what it might cost.

RobinBirch · 5th Jan 2011, 5:10 pm

Guys,
I forwarded them copies of the sections they wanted so there is probably not a need. However, if anyone else wants a scanned copy of this then I can forward it (in bits cos it's big) to them.

If anyone is interested then please send a PM.

Regards

Robin
