RE: ID of German compass
My best ‘guess’ is that it originated from a ship / boat / submarine etc, as the compass has a nautical sort of mounting (technical eh?) along with nautical type of markings on the face of the compass.
I have no doubt someone will prove me wrong, but that’s MY best guess anyhow.
Good luck

RE: Technical Teaser
A-haaa! This is a trick question! it depends upon how many engines the aircraft has, are the others turning, what the rev’s on each engine are & how many blades are fitted to each engine, after that, it would then depend on is it a British aircraft, American aircraft, Japanese aircraft or a German one, and even worse, does it turn clockwise or anti clockwise…. Haa! you can’t trick us THAT easily!!

OK Ja, you can come out of the naughty corner now.
Go and apologise to the headmaster & tell him you WILL find more pictures which tempt Mr ‘modification’.

RE: Aircraft control columns
I don’t do “wind ups” when I give out sensible information, and as far as I can ascertain, these links ARE kosher!
I simply assumed EVERYONE knew what ‘e-bay’ was.
