I would like to find information regarding the Predictive Gyro Gunsight fitted to the Mk9 Spitfire. I need pictures, technical specifications, usage, etc which would enable building a working model.
I would also like information as to if this gunsight would be fitted to Spitfires sent to Russia during WW2.
Many thanks.

RE: Gyro Gunsight fitted to Mk9 Spitfire
Not sure any would have gone to Russia in WW2 as they came in late in the war and the technology was new.
A chap wrote an excellent book on armaments and gunsights from the war (was available from Midland Counties)…..someone else in the group may be able to remember the proper title.
