Bomb Indicator (pg10 ins)

This is an extremely rare piece and the first advertised on this site, It is a bombing indicator. Using the standard Oil pressure/ suction gauge case, its purpose is the guide the pilot on the bomb run visually rather than rely on shouted instructions from the bomb aimer.

I have two date1943 and 1944 so in use by the bombers of that period.

Complete with panel mounting bracket.

This belongs in the instruments section as it is closely related to RPM indicator's listed in these pages.

RPM Counter drive(pg10 ins)

This is in superb boxed serviceable condition (subject to required check's and permits only opened for the picture and immediately resealed. These drives were connected to the Merlin by the normal direct drive cable that  powered the mechanical Rev counters .It generates an electric current and power's the electrical type RPM indicator. This  type of indicator was used where it was impractical to use direct drive cable's. They were used in all Mk's of Lancaster's and many other Bombers where the cockpit or engineers panel was far remote from the engine. It was actually used to power the RPM gauge in the rear cockpit of the very rare two seat Spitfire's. These do appear from time to time but never in this condition, this should end up on a flying aircraft.

The de Havilland DH.103 Hornet was a piston engine fighter that further exploited the wooden construction techniques pioneered by the classic Mosquito. Entering service at the end of the WWII, the Hornet equipped post war RAF Fighter Command day fighter units in the UK and was later used successfully as a strike fighter in Malaya. The Sea Hornet was a carrier-capable version.
