presumably to allow ship-air communications and perhaps also some form of
homing device. These were the TR1196 and R1147 respectively.

Battle of Britain Spitfire radio TR1133 (pg3 rad)
This is the
Holy Grail of WWII Radios. Its
an original TR1133. This radio was only fitted to Spitfire's
and Hurricane's for a short period during the Battle of
Britain. It was replaced soon after by the TR 1143 and
TR 5043. I am also including the rare Dyno that power's this
set. The dyno and radio appears to be in good order
internally and has a 12volt input as it should be with early
Fighters.
Michael
Clarke has this to say about the TR 1133.
TR1133
Some time during the Battle of Britain
the RAF
introduced a VHF set into the Spitfire. This was the TR1133. When a VHF
set was fitted the aerial was removed leaving the aerial mast alone to transmit
and receive signals. I have never seen a TR1133, or a picture of one, but I
believe they used the push-button type controller with a ‘Jones Plug’ type
connector at the back. In fact I think ‘Jones’ connectors were used throughout
the installation.
I understand that Spitfire Mod 385 introduced the TR1143
in lieu of the TR1133. This was in the middle of 1941.
