H2X radomes in a UK aviation museum?

I'm in need some help here chaps and chapesses,

I saw a photo of two AAF H2X/PFF/Mickey radomes exhibited (outdoors in the photo) at a aviation museum in the UK, my vague memory says it's somewhere in the East Midlands/Anglia region, possibly on a former AAF B-24 base but that's by no means certain.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
PB

Paul, do you have a photo of one so I know what it looks like? I may recognise it then!!!!

Mmmmmm, those little upside-down daleks.



Originally coloured white/cream, I'm sure the ones in the photo I saw have turned a brown shade over time. Think of what the WWII US Army helmet liners look like, sort of a fibre mattting shell made up of strips, and you'll get the idea.

All the best,
PB

It would appear these two radomes were on display at the Norfolk & Suffolk Air Museum back in 2007.
If anyone has seen, or better still photographed, them recently please let me know.

All the best,
PB

Paul, you don't happen to have a crisp picture of the H2X dish and motor do you? I've always wanted to make a large scale P-38 Pathfinder model with all the panels off/open. I have found something of the operators position Googling, and the odd poorish image of a H2S scanner but not H2X and as to the internals of a Droop Snoot ...three decades plus without luck. Maybe Langford Lodge has something?

Here you go Ossy.......



Antenna Assembly AS-18A/APS inc. Dish APA-14, Rotating Joint CU-18/APS and Transmitter-Converter RT-15A/APS-15.

The finned unit within the transit cage is the Modulator MD-5C/APS-3.

I've got more H2X reference images here, mostly for the AN/APS-15 setup, but I might have some P-38 installation info in there too.

Hope that helps,
PB
