John, as this is situated in the middle of no-where, on the coast/marsh land near Stiffkey, north Norfalk. I would think it is something to do with gunnery training. Maybe a round the pole flying target.
Hi John, Obviously i wasn't around in the 50's but ive heard tales of ground based aerials for early Tx. I belive these had to be pointed at the receiver. Is your photo of one of these aerials?
Andy, I used the same clevises on a model as you have on your servo arms. I found that on the first flight i lost the "C" clip from the end of the pin. luckerly i spotted this before the pin removed itself, since then I replace the pin with a bolt and lock nut, not as pretty, but much safe...
