Type 93 Aerial, Aircraft.  Stores reference 10BB/875.  Suitable for 450 M.P.H or 550 M.P.H Dive.  Manufactured in alloy, approximately 41cm/16" in length, tapering from 3cm/1.25" wide at the base to 12mm/0.5" at the tip.  Mounted on a 'stepped' bakelite connector section, approximately 7.5cm/3" diameter.  It retains most of the original grey paint.  Marked/soiled but in good overall condition.  Although these are often attributed to the Spitfire, they were for RADAR/GEE rather than radio.  We have been unable to positively identify the aircraft these were used on but clearly a relatively early piston engined one due to the noted dive speeds.  Stock code M24229.
