The usual wireless equipment on a Battle I was an R.1082 receiver and T.1083 transmitter. This agrees with your "Trans T1083" findings and Pieter's post.

Regarding the T1083 being used with the R1082, see http://www.duxfordradiosociety.org/r...082/r1082.html

Regarding a T.R. 9D, this was a R/T (radio telephony) set, with a very short range or distance, to speak with the ground or other adjacent aircraft.

If your Battle had a T.R. 9D as well, then he had both (W/T & R/T), as MarkRS has pointed out.

Most RAF fighters still had the T.R. 9D R/T during the Battle of Britain in August 1940 (see Andy's postings), whilst some had got a later Very High Frequency (V.H.F.) R/T set.

I have read somewhere that some Battle aircraft were used in Wireless training.
