The Bren Light Machine Gun
was introduced into the British Army in 1937. The Bren
revolutionised the British & Australian Army. Equipment was
designed so Bren Gun magazines could be carried. An Infantry
section always contained a Bren Group (1 gun) for local
automatic support fire. The introduction of the Bren
meant that tactics could change. It was now possible to have
light, fast moving automatic fire, just as fast as the
men themselves . With the Bren's predecessor, the
LEWIS, this could not be done as the weight and dimensions
of the Lewis meant it was not possible to carry forward an
LMG in an attack at speed.
The Bren gun was used in many roles, from light support in
the Infantry section, to a Medium MG role, when used with the
sustained fire tripod that was issued with every gun.
It was also used largely in the
Anti-Aircraft role. Special items of equipment
were issued with it, such as 100-round drum
magazines and tripod extension legs.
The Bren went into Front-line service
as soon as the numbers were available. It went to France in
1939 with the British Expeditionary Force in the Mk. I
version of the gun. It served in North Africa and Italy.
Australian troops used the Bren in all the theatres of war
in which they served. The Bren soldiered on post war as well
in Korea and Malaya. It was then converted to 7.62mm NATO
with the introduction of the L1A1 Self-Loading-Rifle (SLR)
the Bren became the L4. It has a service history of over 60
years!

Norden Bombsight(pg3 arm)
The legendary Norden bombsight. This
was one of the best kept secrets of WWII. No aircraft fitted
with one of these was ever left without an armed guard. This
device for accurately dropping bombs from aircraft was one
of the United States' most closely guarded secrets of World
War II. It was originally designed for use on U.S. Navy
aircraft by Carl Norden, a Dutch engineer educated in
Switzerland who immigrated to the U.S. in 1904. The device
used a mechanical analog computer comprised of motors,
gyros, mirrors, levels, gears, and a small telescope. The
bombardier input the necessary information (airspeed,
altitude, etc.) and the bombsight would calculate the
trajectory of the bomb being dropped. Near the target the
aircraft would fly on autopilot to the precise position
calculated by the bombsight and release the ordnance. Using
this device, bombardiers could drop their bombs within a
100-foot circle from an altitude of well over 20,000 feet.
The Norden bombsight was used by RAF
617 Sdr.
This is an extremely rare example of
this classic bombsight and has got to be the ultimate piece
in any WW11 armament collector's, collection. Its in good
original condition, I don't believe its serviceable. It has
a slight crack in the glass on top but we will endeavour to
replace this for the buyer if required. It will be supplied
with a book on a book dedicated to the Norden bombsight.
