RE: ID of German compass

Hi!

Thanks for the replies.
The gimbal type of mounting might very well tell
us that it is from a boat.
However, what made us think that it might have been used in an
aircraft, was that my colleague showed it to a retired mechanic that
came to visit at work.
This guy used to work at Ju-52’s after the war and said that the
compass looked like the one mounted between the pilot in this
aircraft.
(I did not mention this in the previous post because I would not
give away any leading clues..)

I also searched the web yesterday and found a very blurred picture
of a Ju-52 cockpit that showed what locked like a box with
a plexiglas lid containing a large compass between the pilots.
(Of course I forgot to save that picture….)

The search for the answer continues…Thanks so far!

RE: Mosquito at Gardermoen?

I think the aircraft definitly looks like its under maintenance and
not left there to rot..
Why could the aircraft not be visitor to Gardermoen just after
the war, and in need of a compass swing before it left for Scotland?
