[Leica] Radio upper air probe

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

If it's Velsalla (Mecatechnica) and not vaisalla - DON'T touch it! 
They're an Italian manufacturer of antipersonnel mines.
Seriously though, it is very probably a Vaisala RS92 Radiosonde. A 
pressure tempearature and humidity sensor package.

Probably a very expensive piece of equipment, someone is sure to be 
prepared to pay a finder's reward for it

Cheers
