Here I describe the restoration of an English receiver from the second world war (WWII), the Marconi R1155, which was used in almost all the English bomber and transport aircraft. The receiver has become a legend and it is popular with collectors and museums. I describe the initial condition, the restoration and the result in text and photos.
