Clarence also has ZL-N RA536 Named Natch SOC 17th June 47.

I was aware that it could be U – but assumed Zeke to be more likely. I can also post the U for both squadrons if you wanted to pursue either.

My contact in Russia has just asked If I wanted an L-39 Albatross control stick and pedals.

I declined – let me know if you want to contact him.

There are a couple of chapters specifically on aircraft clocks.

first one on RAF clocks, Then one on aircraft clocks – two separate half chapters by two people ( by my mind).

Followed by a short section on RAF instrument clocks (gun cameras etc>)

At the rear are two short chapters on US, Japanese etc.

Ca. 70-80% of the book is on wristwatches.

So does not cover instruments in general – it is aimed at us clock geeks.

It is not inexpensive and half in German – but it is a very big, useful and well presented book.

Konrad Knirim has written two books on military timepieces. One on German and one on British.

This page is from the British edition.

1937 mk3A clock

Anyone need a 1937 Carley and Clemence Mk3A clock stores reference 6A/676M for a late 30’s/ Fall of France/BofB static panel.

Often called Spitfire Clocks were used in many clocks of that time.

Unlike later versions this has a bespoke swiss mechanism and not the Jaeger as from 3B – both shown in Knirims book in picture

Clock has been cleaned and oiled but has a broken jewel at last wheel so only suitable for static or spares.

Has all three brass knobs and the bevelled glass. Rear case and hands replaced in the 60’s .

P.S. no radium in dial!

I mentioned this on the turret thread a few days ago with link to the saleroom where you can place a bid.
