magneta: NAAFI Welfare Radio Receiver

The UK Military "welfare" sets usually painted in colour according Army, Royal Navy or RAF.

Blue would have been RAF.

There is at least one other Magneta Time NAAFI set

"The Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes (NAAFI) is an organisation created by the British government in 1921 to run recreational establishments needed by the British Armed Forces, and to sell goods to servicemen and their families. It runs clubs, bars, shops, supermarkets, launderettes, restaurants, cafés and other facilities on most British military bases and also canteens on board Royal Navy ships. Commissioned officers are not usually supposed to use the NAAFI clubs and bars, since their messes provide these facilities and their entry, except on official business, is considered to be an intrusion into junior ranks' private lives."
 

An Officers's Mess would also often have had a Radio set.
