    I think this probably gives a real insight into the Shacks relationship to the Lanc . Quite a lot of stuff must have been the same

    Looking at this bugger there is no wonder that the British create such wonderful hi-fi equipment. Appalling reliability though and a nasty habit of catching fire. Technically outstanding and groundbreaking though with nothing to touch it for decades and then only really outdated due to combat techniques leaving it way behind.

    I had the pleasure of watching these at their last RAF base during the 70's and 80's up to their demise. That base was 10 miles down the road from where I lived.

    Fantastic memories.
