Jan Wouters Posted January 2, 2007 #1 Posted January 2, 2007 I'm looking for original pictures of soldiers who are wearing a BC 1000 Field radio on their back. Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.
2ad82recon Posted January 4, 2007 #3 Posted January 4, 2007 On the top pic note the Regimental HQ stencil on the SCR300 battery case.
bfryar44 Posted January 4, 2007 #4 Posted January 4, 2007 Here's another one. Not a very good view of the radio but it's a great picture because it's in color.

arnhem44mad Posted July 9, 2012 #6 Posted July 9, 2012 I have a lot mate, if you, or any other members would like them can you pm me your e-mail addresses and I'll send them, it's just that resizing and resaving pictures takes so long :thumbsup: Cheers, Scott
ken88 Posted May 23, 2022 #7 Posted May 23, 2022 I'm surprised no more pictures have been added to this thread. In an attempt to revive this interesting topic, here's a picture of a radioman carrying one in Normandy.
ken88 Posted May 23, 2022 #9 Posted May 23, 2022 Stunning reference pic of a radioman carrying one along with a BC611
ken88 Posted May 23, 2022 #10 Posted May 23, 2022 Superb operation Varsity picture, note the British paratrooper emphasizing the strong links between the allied armies during the push over the Rhine: (Funny history fact: General Patton urinated into the Rhine River on March 24. A telegram sent by Patton to Supreme Commander Eisenhower stated: 'I have just p****d into the Rhine River. For God's sake, send some gasoline.')
SGM (ret.) Posted April 27, 2023 #11 Posted April 27, 2023 One thing that I found really interesting about this photo is the way the soldier has wrapped the waist strap back around the bottom of the CS-128 battery case. I'm also not sure that the bag strapped to the top rear of the radio is the accessory / antenna bag,
SGM (ret.) Posted April 27, 2023 #12 Posted April 27, 2023 A few more "in action" pics scrounged from various places on the interweb...
