If I may try something a little different.
It is a photo I took in 1983.
The plane is obvious. Can you tell me what model it is?

Another hint:
In the year the photo was taken, there was only one of that model surviving.

At my age, I could use one of those.

Think this device (whatever it is) is from a post-WW2 USAF jet. BTW... US used tubes up until the mid-1980s, partly for that anti-jamming reason. I know, I have a lot of tubes in my inventory. For guitar and audio amps.All transmit/receive and audio amplifier equipment used vacuum tubes during the war.
Anti-jamming?
Regardless of tubes (valves) or transistors, it's the transmission that's jammed, not the transmitting power source.
Not a B XX
Extract from "Mosquito Portfolia" Stuart Howe, published in 1984.
I have removed the models for which there is more than one surviving and added the final column.
