0 mtskull Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Don't know if it helps but it looks to me as if there is a hinge in the middle of the disk which would enable half of it to be flipped over, thus changing the colour of the disk, perhaps as a signal or an aide memoire to a crucial part of a checklist?

Good point, is it a visual "traffic light" sort of signal for incoming landing craft, set it to the correct colour and flip it vertical?

I thought that was a pointer, like a incline measure but can see your point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 armouredfarmer Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Having had a second look it appears, if you zoom in enough, that its a strip with a center pivot on the circle and there are what appear to be markings around the edge of the circle, so bearing indicator to monitor the progress or drift of incoming craft?

0 john1950 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Looks as if they are having a day out, not participating in a pivitol day in history. I wonder if it could be a beach sector colour board. In Normandy the beaches were split into three colour sectors I believe. What is that trolly just past the cable reel down the beach?
