Metz, France
Mobile Microwave Setup

The early days at Metz left a lot to be desired for our RCAF personnel. If you happened to be a Comm Ground Tech, chances are you would spend a great deal of time setting up mobile microwave systems - scattered in many locations throughout the province of Moselle. Gordie Knight has shared photos of his experiences - and frankly, I am glad that I didn't have to deal with the workload that he dealt with so many years ago.
