I have spotted this one in Elm Road when passing through Hook on the Leatherhead Road A243 to the Kingston by Pass. A nightmare to stop but Sunday morning proved to be light traffic.

An extra bonus not seen from the A243 is the 'bow tie' UHF aerial exclusive[?] to DER rentals.

The high parts of Chessington are very suited to long distance reception.
Many years ago I repaired a Ferguson 1400 3653 and upon returning it to the customer, received very watchable pictures on every position of the VHF tuner. They had a simple Band 1/3 outside aerial. Regards, John.
