[Milsurplus] Facility Photograph

[Richard Spargur]

Ankara, Turkey?  Would they be wearing the CBI sholder patch during that
period?  Two different people in two different pictures are wearing the
China, Burma, India shoulder patch on their left shoulder denoting the unit
they are assigned to.  I think the photo is dated between 1952ish and 1957.
Simply based on the R-390s in the photographs and when those uniforms were
replaced.  Those uniforms were replaced somewhere around 1955/57.

R-388s, R274s (by halli) & R390 / CV-116(?)s are obvious.  A correspondent
thinks all theese were late 50s refits.  First generation evidence are
BC-610s.  One person has identified BC-339 hi-power txs along with bigger
Wilcox Gay units or BC-340s for 10kw.  Same correspondent spotted English
generators that of the 20 similar sites in '48, were believed only at the
Ankara. 

Let the wild rumpus begin
