[Milsurplus] Re: Ricebox hams on WW2 warships...

[J Forster]

About 20 years ago, I visited the Science Museum in South Kensington
(London, England) and they had lots of very interesting stuff, including
a cut away WW II Cruise Missile (AKA V-I or Buzz Bomb) and an IRBM
(V-2).  The museum had available many professional photos of their
exhibits, taken w/o glass reflections, etc.

It would seem that today those could be made available at much lower
cost as .jpgs on a CD or DVD. I didn't see anything like that, but
forgot to ask at the Museum Store. Has detailed photos of the radios and
other electronics been available, I would certainly have bought one.

Best,
-John
