Hi..... welcome to my vintage RACAL pages.
I have dedicated it to some of the superb equipment made by this company into the 1970's and 1980's.I have aimed this site at those who would like to know more about the many variations of equipment the RACAL have made during this period.The list is by no means complete and never will be,but I will do my best to update it as and when I can.You may need to be patient while the pictures download, but I think you will find it worth the wait. I have not "Thumbnailed" the images as I know that many of you like to save the pages as they are, with full size images.I have also reduced the resolution of some of the images to save space on the server and reduce download time.
All the information on this site is offered in good faith. I cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies. All the equipment featured on this site is from part of my own collection, nothing is listed that I do not own, If I don't have it it won't be on here. All photographs are also from my own collection except where indicated.
Please note that some pages are still under construction.I have no connection with the RACAL/THALES company whatsoever.
One Final Thing...!
People have been using info and images taken from this site to use in their
listings on ebay.I must draw your attention to the Copyright Notice at the
bottom of this page.Private and Personal use, in my view, does not include
selling on Ebay.
However ,in general, if due acknowledgment is given as to where the content has come from and it is made clear that the equipment for sale is in no way,shape or form connected with me then I don't have a problem with giving permission for the use of content from this site For Amateur Use
But these details must be made CLEAR . I do not want people to be under the impression that they are buying/bidding for my equipment (as has happened ) and I don't want people thinking that they are getting a good clean example only to find that they have bought the biggest piece of junk going because they have been mislead by a picture.
If you are not sure on Ebays stance on this then look here http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/community/png-text-and-images.html and here http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/community/png-copyrights.html .
