[Milsurplus] TCS information needed

[BSugarberg]

Hello Bill,

From:	http://www.rafbeachunits.info/index.html

"Welcome to the R.A.F. Beach Units Website."

"The primary aim of this website is to promote awareness of the Royal Air 
Force Beach Squadrons that took part in the invasion of Normandy in World War 
Two."

"These specialist Combined Operations units worked with the Royal Navy Beach 
Commandos and the Army Beach Groups to facilitate the landing, assembly, and 
onward dispatch of personnel, stores and equipment for the 2nd Tactical Air 
Force across the invasion beaches."

"Owing to their brief life and unglamorous nature the R.A.F. Beach Squadrons 
are largely unknown and very little information about them has been published."

"...in January 1944 Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Air Force, came up 
with a plan for Beach Unit communications. Each Beach Unit would have one 
Collins 18Q radio for communication between Beach Units and with R.A.F. H.Q.s 
in the U.K. and ashore..."
