Hi David!
No i didnt thonk it was possible, but sometimes you get lucky 🙂
Might still!
I bought it at a fleamarket about 20 years ago when i wast just a boy and the seller
told me it was from an hurricane, but he didnt have any more info to give sadly, maybe he was just trying to sell it to me, but it didnt cost very much so i would have bought it anyway.
Still it would be fun to know more about it, if possible.

I don’t think anyone out there has a list -so no sadly you will probably never know.

Thank you for your info! 🙂
Yes i know it was in a lot of different aircraft, hurricanes, spitfires and typhons all had them as well.
My question is, is there anyway to know wich type of aircraft my specific compass comes from? Is there anyone out there who has lists or know how to make something out from the nr:s on it?
All the best!

i think you will find this was/is fitted to a number of aircraft types. Piston Provost WW397 was fitted with one and IIRC the Chipmunk as well.

Most Mosquitos had them. I am sure others can add to this.
