Russian aerial for Bill Wright
 

I may be visiting Berlin next September for a series of visits with a
transport related theme but one of them, to the Berlin Technik Museum
encompasses a wider range of subjects.

I came across this DIY (allegedly) aerial retrieved from a Russian
barracks in the former East Germany:

There is a copyright mark which might pose a problem if you want it for
your website but, if I can find it next year, I'll take my own picture
of it although, as my wife points out, we'd need a week to do the museum
properly and we will only have one day!

Apparently a very rare find indeed - a woman interested in TV aerials.

A Double Diamond works wonders.

That's really good. A DIY aerial with a socio-political story attached!
I'm surprised the feeder has been fastened to the dipole though!

On a website, there is what looks remarkably like a derelict DDR
school building portrayed as a 1959 Russian nuclear missile site.


Sounds like good camouflage. The Kelvedon Hatch nuclear bunker entrance
was designed to look like a bungalow from the outside

Many of them did. It was a standard design.

Yes, I thought that too!

Hah. I recall passing one such every few weeks on the way to somewhere
and the construction of what was something very substantial and
sinister was painfully obvious, with huge amounts of underground
excavation and spoil being trucked away every time I saw it.
A couple of years later, there was a bungalow, smack bang on the
middle of the plot, with a couple of small outbuildings that I'd seen
some very substantial pipework going to the bases of.
I'm utterly certain the Russkis couldn't have known a thing about it,
oh no. Totally discreet it was.
