Marmite!! Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Looks like they are promoting Gun Cameras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike65 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Can definitely say they are cameras. The one on the left looks like a hand held aerial recon type. The others are machine gun cameras, probably used for training aerial gunners. I like this WW1 era version http://www.forgottenweapons.com/accessories/hythe-mk-iii-gun-camera/ Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yep. All cameras from a photocall - this is from the Corbis Betmann archive but it could come from a newspaper they manage - they aggregate so many collections- but if I browse where I work I will find one from the papers who employ me - we have three main titles of the period and some regionals. My guess date is 1941. The cameras are all on the mount off the back off training aircraft - old Harts, Audax or any of the two seaters. But equally this would have been used in any aircraft with an open seat for an observer in the RAF or RN. Any more info?? I'd like to try and match it.
