Can't say where it is as there is too much equipment lying around. Sorry.

My ex gaffer, a lover of all things valve, and analogue would love that place!!
a really interesting find there.
great find mate whats in the first picture?
That's a real treasure trove. And from the back you look just like Phil Harding from Time Team.
I'm gonna guess their light bulbs....
They are thermionic 'valves' or vacuum 'tubes' as the Americans call them. Old style transistors for you youngsters.
Oh, that's well nice. So many interesting things! Great stuff!

This is incredible. For me personally, being a radio ham and a total shortwave radio fanatic, this would be the ultimate explore. Those packs of valves are just insane. I restore old military communications gear and it is really hard to get hold of quality valves these days. I am off now to look in my archives and try to identify some of the gear in these photos! Totally brilliant, thanks for putting these up!
Jesus! That poor cowboy in the fourth picture has a coke bottle sticking out of his ass. Help him out FFS
Seriously though, Dave, a very good find. Nice pics too!

That's an incredible haul. Some of that kit looks familiar from radio rallies I'm sure.
But is it from the RAF days or left over from a post-RAF user? The Pye transciever, the car radio and the broadcast receivers aren't quite on-message for RAF kit. Did you happen to get any part numbers from the valves? If they had part numbers starting with CV then they're military, anything else e.g. EL ECC etc. they're civilian.
Most importantly, you seem to have sat down on a Coke bottle at some point.
