EASY, in an old abandoned corner of barkston heath, lives this centre circle tether for a 100 inch span speed model,

I cant see it being the invisible man

[BRIAN RAWCLIFFE]

John,it's an aerial for a 27meg ground based transmitter..

[stewart clifford]

It's the remains of a Roman pole dancing club called "strippuss bareuss".

CLUE
Work around third posting

[Dave Parry]

I guess no one has a clue then John.

[Tony Collins 1073]

Does that third posting include your first one John? If it does then we are looking probably at some sort of rotating elevating mount for binoculars, periscope style.
If it doesn't include yours then can only go along with Alans anchor point in the centre circle but for a pulse jet maybe.

[John Evans]

Hi Tony
You are now on the right track with Alans posting,but think back to the 50s.

RTP?

[Dave Tregaskes]

Hi John,

Is it the centre point for tether cars?

[paul hughes]

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?

[John Evans]

Hi
Bob T is the closest, keep going.

ROUND THE FLIPPIN POLE

[Dave Parry]

Flippin No we don't

[Alan Cantwell 1131]

Now this is a wild guess, but did this pole used to be surrounded by water? is it for tethered hydroplanes?
