Sun compass
Part of the enjoyment of owning a LRDG truck is all of the things you can add to it, to make it more authentic. In a well-established tradition of cutting costs and doing everything ourselves, I have for the last few months been making a Bagnold sun compass. I was put off by the high cost of buying one so I did most of it myself except for the engraved top plate, which was made commercially. I also had the help of a very good friend who has a lathe. The final cost at $NZ500 is about one third that of a commercially made sun compass. It works just like a real one.
