Re: To Vickers Wellesley’s experts : technical questions

Just a minor addition: the vertical strut in front of the circular ADF antenna is actually a mast. The antenna it supports is a piece of wire coming out of the fuselage, to the top of the mast, and then back to the fixed vertical fin. The long length was needed because of the low frequency (and therefore long wavelength) of radios of that time.
