OK, sorry for the delay.
It is, as Jase wrote, a drift calculator, and as Bex wrote, it is for camera sighting. Fitted to PR.3s and PR.7s (for a while) it was used to allow more accurate overlap images when flying ‘strip’ photo recce (I believe, still looking into this :confused: ).
And yes Bex, I believe 773 should have one as well.
Pics show the sight in ‘action’, and as now fitted to WF922 at MAM.

Is it used for measuring yaw/ sideways drift type thingy????

Some sort of rigging gizmo?

Oh ang on, is that the sight I should have the nose of 773 Les?
Ive left the question above, but after a little more thought, Im pretty sure its a “Banana SIght” used for PR work, not bombing. Bex

Not a bomb sight.
:rolleyes:

I think its a “Banana” bombsight, cant remember the correct Cranberry terminology though.
