[ARC5] ARC5 trivia

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

I was going through a stack of old aircraft flight manuals (NATOPS for
you Navy types) and a C-117D book caught my eye.  I flipped it open to
chapter 2, systems descriptions and found this:

UHF Comm	ARC-27  (the military must have procured a million of
these things!)
VHF Comm	ARC-1	  (the "goon" that I flew in Keflavik Iceland in
1974 had an ARC-101 VHF- 360 channels!)
VHF Nav	ARN 14
ILS		ARN-8   (Maybe, I've got a great memory, but it is
short)
Tacan		ARN-21  (works good for 21 DME or 21 minutes after
takeoff!)
Beacon	ARN-32  (complete with Blue, Amber and White indicator lights)
LF Beacon	ARC-5   ( like the goon, they never go away!)
HF Comm	ARC-38/38A
HF Rx		ARR-41  (lovely set - essentially a R-390 built for
airplanes)
IFF		APX-72  (the most modern box on the airplane!)
ADF		MN-26 or ARN-6 

So, that is what the well-dressed C-117D wore in 1967.  There are
probably as many variations out there as there are airplanes!

I think its interesting they used an
MN-26 radio compass receiver, I wonder if it is the -LB variant that
covered HF.

Can anyone ID the transmitter in the stack?

Any information as to the where of this photo?

Thanks
