Computor dead reckoning MK 4

Thanks a lot, Smirky!

pictures of the 6b/144 MkIIIc computor – thanks Oxcart 🙂

PM replied too!

PM sent 🙂

It said something about security, suggested i email the administrator, i clicked on that and TRIED to do that, but then it said something like ‘HTTP’s are not supported’ and wouldn’t let me!-then i tried to use my phone and it had seized up!-i swore quite a lot and gave up!-MY GOD I HATE MODERN TECHNOLOGY!!

check that the file size and type are within the rules

… and after seemingly 10 minutes of waiting for file to be uploaded, i get a message saying “upload of file failed”- with absolutely no explanation as to why this has happened- PLEASE, SOMEBODY TELL ME THAT THIS SORT OF STUFF DOESN’T ONLY HAPPEN TO ME!!

you press the paperclip button in the middle of the top toolbar

So, how do you get a picture on here??:o

Thanks everyone for an excellent thread

Thanks oxcart for the tact. As you might guess 6B/125 (lower number) would be older and therefore wartime …… Please post a pic if possible.

…And forget i mentioned “map”-must’ve been a senior moment!

Thanks to all for your help with this.

Between 1944 -1950 then?

My next question – did the term knot take over from mph for military aircraft as some of the early ones I thought were in mph – I could be wrong with this one?

I forgot to mention that its from a DH Mosquito. Evilbay here it come’s -tic :dev2:

Thanks, Smirky!- the stores number is 6B/144 and under a hinged front section with some sort of dial on the front, it does have a scrolling arrangement with a knob to control it-but it looks like graph paper (to me) rather than a map-with numbers at intervals fanned out and within a moveable ring with degrees on it-underneath a perspex cover-the cover has 3 crosses in pencil on it-so its obviously seen some use!

If its the one with the red scrolling graph and the knobs then I’m pretty sure its older. Does it have a stores number on it?

Mine is marked on the box “Computer Navigational MK III C”-it looks more modern than the one pictured, though-any (relevant!) info would be appreciated!

CRP-4, that is posh.

Lol, my dad still uses an ancient CRP-1 for flight planning. Got a nicer one somewhere though……

Also useful for tide calculations when sailing.

I was waiting for an expert poster but, in my opinion, it is after 1944 because it is not marked AM and before the “early 1950s” when the mk4a came out.

Shame that this is not helping Pimpernel, though

Patina?-10 minutes outside with the weather we’ve been having down here lately should do it! 🙂
