An illegal radio receiver built to pick up foreign broadcasts. After May 1943 most Dutch people were supposed to hand in their radios to the Germans. The only exceptions were members of the Dutch nazi party. So some people built radios like this one out of spare parts. This one has been built into a matchbox. People who handed in their radios were given a receipt by the Germans so that after the Germans had won the war they could present their receipt and get their radio back. That was the theory.

Rare Red weather warning issued by the MET Office on BBC Weather this was broadcast when winds reached 100mph in the majority of the UK which was subject to the remains of a hurricane.
Some areas would see 1 month's rain in the next couple of days. The fact flooding on the River Severn and Thames had flooded many places before this with storm after storm.
An impressive array of satellite dishes all owned by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation). The BBC don't do anything small scale and this array goes to prove that! The one I missed, on the top right is one huge mo-fo! The biggest of them all. Jeez, the BBC could SO NICELY contribute to the SETI project with these whoppers!
You can see this impressive site on the Hammersmith and City line which is a train line on the London Underground (metro) system. This stretch of the line is overground and goes right past the BBC Television Centre in an area of London called White City. The photo was taken right after leaving White City station heading out west towards Northolt.
If you're ever in the area, you should try and visit a TV recording in one of the BBC's impressive large studios inside Television Centre. It's free of charge. The whole BBC complex is immense and thoroughly impressive.
Antiques are sometimes a family affair. When the BBC came to Lytham in June there were visitors of all ages queuing up for a selfie with Fiona Bruce et al. This guy has his hands full though. So does the girl. At a guess we’re witnessing at least three generations here. There’s no valuation up for broadcast yet, but I’m guessing the little chap’s more likely to be asleep when all is revealed on the Antiques Roadshow.
