FuG 65 Würzburg-Riese ("Giant Würzburg") Radar

The literal translation is "here use a support chock to transport and remove the cover plate before the engine starts." The V1 would need to be transported from the factory to the operational unit and prepared for firing. This was a reminder to the ground crew to remove the transport attachments before the V1 was fired. Right-click and choose "view image" to enlarge.
