LSW Kit unloaded from Lye Mun camp c 1952.

More kit bags, crates and lockers being unloaded.  The lower part of the other aerial mast is visible on the right.  As this image was taken after the aerial photographs it would seem that this mast was already being dismantled as they were both going to be in the centre of the new camp.  I believe that transmitting aerials were slung between two masts, whereas receiviing aerials tended to be stand-alone on single masts - but I stand to be corrected.  If my theory is correct, then the Royal Sgnals pre-war signals unit was primarily a transmitting site and the Japanese one would be similar.
