I also saw the new MI film and wondered about their use of analogue radio. I assumed they were using VHF though, as I'm sure I saw a Diamond X-50 tucked under Tom Cruise's jacket, at one point.

A towel is also useful for swatting away buzzy things on field days. Doesn't work so well with the Ravenous Bug-Blatter Beast of Traal, though.

I assumed it might be NVIS using the a loop in the parachute before tuning the train in with his coper lined boots. No idea how he maintaind comms in the tunnels though. Perhaps it was the rails that were tuned in. And thanks for the fly-swat tip :-) If Moonraker or iCom don't start doing field towels I'll be very disappointed. Perhaps I should buy SotaClean dot com and produce my own. Doh... Just checked and someone is already selling Ham Radio towels... https://gotahams.com/product/towel/
