I’ve just been studying the Vol. I for the Mosquito B. IX and I’ve come across something which may be of interest.

Read the description of the control unit which was situated behind the pilot’s seat. It sounds very much like this item.

This surprises me as at least one of my Bombsight A.P.s includes a diagram showing the Mk. XIV installed completely within the Mosquito’s nose, i.e. sighting head and computor, so no need for a remote control box. Perhaps this unit was part of an interim solution in order to get the Mk. XIV ‘sight into the Mosquito airframe a.s.a.p?

I’ll be heading off to Kew soon and will make a point of checking the Vol. I for the B.XVI and B.35 to see which installation they had.

Another mystery item solved, perhaps?
