Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 How about a Mossie compass too ? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Well if your giving things away I,ll have that Mossie compass off you, My uncle Bert used to make components for the Mossie during the war, at a little factory in Tottenham, I wish I,d known more about them as a kid as I would have had hundreds of parts that were just in the stores gathering dust, the only things I ended up taking were the 30 MK11 helmets from the shelter!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
