Trying to ID Gunsight and the A/C that used it

Another use of MK4B Gunsite

I’m guessing, but did DC just wet himself like an excited puppy ?

Writing this with clean and dry trousers! 🙂

I think that the MK4B Gunsite was also used in FB.11 Sea Furies.

Hi Wardie,
Coincidentally, I’ve just found a couple of photos I found of the Gyro sight on display with the Vampire in the RAAF Museum at Point Cook. Interestingly, this is identified as a 4E and is an RAF not RAAF item.

Dunno about the differences between the suffix letters, and the RAAF wouldn’t have had a lot of different aircraft using that gunsight in the era – the series two RAAF aircraft is here on the RAAF Museum’s list.

Didn’t the RAAF have a single, loan Hornet?

Hope this helps.

Hmmmm

Looks like Hornet is one use for it, but there must be others, as the RAAF didnt operate them!

RAAF Vampire would be a good bet.

It is fitted to the deHavilland Hornet! How much do you want for it. Would you consider selling?

Pictures of the unit.

I seem to remember that I was told it was CAC P51 or Vampire when I got it.

Thanks for your help
