Shorrock Developments Ltd
51 Preston New Road, Blackburn, Lancashire, England
Believed to be the first company in the UK selling airband radio’s (I believe the individual was called Stan Shorrock)
Shorrock VHF Receiver
The Shorrock VHF Receiver was based on a Perdio PR100
Shorrock Mk. V Receiver – Cost £36 (This would be the equivalent of £700 in 2018!)
This radio is a Decca TP85 modified to receive the Aircraft Band, with a plastic label stuck over the original dial. The Decca cost £24.
One advert says a single VHF band version was available for £28
Another advert said there’s a Shorrock Mk V with a red cabinet (possibly one of the last Mk V built)
Shorrock MK 6
First seen advertised in 1966
Model 102
Although not an airband radio I did want to include the Model 102 as Shorrock only made a handful of radio’s during their existence. Covers Long Wave, Medium Wave and Three Short Wave bands
