MSO Photos

main signals office

In days gone by, if you wanted to pick up a good buzz, the MSO was the place to start.

This area will be used for those bits and pieces which may be of interest to serving and ex-serving communicators.

Please feel free to pass on anything you think might be interesting to others, such as old photos, dits, etc.
