Meci, Serge;
The sun-compass with the bigger shadow plate is a Howards Mk.II. It is definitely not WWII but much later - you can find such compass occassionaly "in the Bay" but quite ften it comes without the handle and the style. As far as I know the LRDG did not use the Howard sun-compass (in WWII it would have been the Mk.I). The smaller one is the Bagnold Sun-Compass. This is THE LRDG compass. Howver - it was definitely not used by Bomber crews but only by the LRDG, SAS, SDF and by the Egyptian army. (As far as I can see, the compass you have on your vehicle is one of Dominic Kaukas' replicas). |
