John Evans 1915

I think it's the invisible man

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

Hi Alan
keep trying.
John E 1915

I cant see it being the invisible man

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

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

CLUE
Work around third posting

I guess no one has a clue then John.

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.

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

RTP?

Hi John,

Is it the centre point for tether cars?

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?

Hi
Bob T is the closest, keep going.

ROUND THE FLIPPIN POLE

Flippin No we don't

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