WWII SECOND WORLD WAR ROYAL NAVY LIFEBOAT ESCAPE KITE
An original WWII Second World War RAF / Royal Navy 'Hand Flying Kite And Aerial'. The yellow tube details the instructions as to how to construct and operate the kite, which doubled as a visual signal but also a method to attach a wireless aerial to. Appears complete and unused (completeness not guaranteed). Tube measures approx 77cm long.
From the late Grahame Cox collection. Grahame was a dedicated collector drawn to historic and unusual artifacts with rich stories. His passion centered on military and transportation history, with a special focus on aviation and his native Bristol. Together, these pieces form a touching tribute to the local innovation, commitment, and bravery of the people connected to them.
