The Ever Ready Sky Captain, or as its Berec Buccaneer equivalent, is generally accepted (at least on Radiomuseum.org) as 'probably' the last battery valve portable made in Great Britain.
It was released in April 1961 costing £7 3s 1d plus purchase tax. The valve line-up was DK96 DF96 DAF96 DL96 and its was powered via a 90 & 1.5 volt Ever Ready B141 combined battery.
