Description

BRITISH BOMB SIGHT COMPASS
Boxed 3 7/8" dia. brass-case compass used in the British Course-Setting Bomb Sights Mk VII A, B and C; the standard bomb sight of the mid-1930s. Used in Hawker biplane bombers, with low maximum speeds; and later probably used on the Avro Anson, the Sunderland, the Battle and planes such as the Vickers Stranraer and the Walrus. The early Wellingtons were slow at 230mph top speed, but may also have used this compass. In the original box indicating that care should be used in handling.
