Stirling Bombsight Mk XIV

A few more pictures that may be of interest, in view of your forum name!

The two flex drives connect the Computor Unit to the Sighting Head, transferring drift and sighting angle.

The OP did ask for comments, so:

It would seem reasonable to me that log books should be retained by the pilot (or other aircrew) when they leave the RAF. Assuming of course that they survive. Whilst national records could perhaps keep copies that could hardly be done retrospectively and I would guess that the task of copying, cataloging, etc would be time consuming, and therefore expensive and unwelcome to officialdom. To say nothing that they might perhaps not do a very good job of that copying.

It would seem that the “Breast Insignia” wings is not specifically for pilots, but the appropriate qualification badge is and the qualification clasp that I posted before is an extra!

According to “Badges and Insignia of WW2” by Guido Rosignoli as well as the standard Pilot qualification badge there were also qualification clasps, perhaps worn on the breast, like those below:

I thought the astrodomes had a bent bar across them upon which there was fitted the Standard 6A/366 which in turn the Astro Compass clamped into, and that they also had a hook at the apex of the dome from which to hang a bubble sextant. But I never worked on them so could be wrong. Not aware if they were ever modified to take periscopic sextants.
