The Duxford Radio
Society (which is also the Radio Section of the Duxford Aviation
Society)
consists of a dedicated group of volunteers who research,
conserve, restore and display historic military radio, radar and
navigation equipment to support the
Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Cambridge, England.
The Duxford Radio Society was co-founded by Major John Brown, designer
of
the famous wartime Type B MKII ('B2') suitcase radio
transmitter-receiver and many other items of radio equipment used for
espionage and clandestine purposes.

DRS also operates the
Amateur Radio Station, callsign GB2IWM,

many other
days of the week
when DRS volunteers are present on the site.
