I am doing some work on getting a WW2 British R-1155 receiver going again, they used them in lots of big aircraft like the Lancaster. Big thing about them is that many were converted and used for SWL and Ham radio over in Europe. Not that common here but over there this is something like the BC-348 so back in the day this is what many used to get on the air in the forties and fifties.
You can see the video of the work so far at:
