If memory serves me well that is an Antiferance XG14 W/B tv aerial, a vertically polarized 5 element FM aerial and a Ron Smith Apollo large beam horizontally polarized FM aerial complete with rotator .
It was in Andy's ( IvortheDj ) back garden and was on a 30' mast erection that we built

Had a 40' mast with a hf 6m 6element yagi and 8 element 2m fm yagi, a 8 element 70cm yagi and a Cobwebb antenna stuck on top.. It was on the first Google map pics of our street but pics been replaced now lol.. I made the mast out of box section and scaffi bar so it was telescopic. It had to come down when I built the conservatory. 😞.. Still got the 2m beam in garage..

Ask yourself why we put great big aerials on masts at the top of our houses to achieve good reception
And here`s me thinking they were for Starlings to roost on
