Toner Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I read somewhere that the bombardier's were under orders to destroy the bomb sight at all costs if the plane was brought down. Even to the point of riding the doomed craft down if required. Sobering thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 No there are pictures of the Nordenfelt sight being carried out to the aircraft by crews with drawn weapons. Propbably posed. If any one really wants a bomb sight crate I have some given to me by an old lady. they were used by her husband to contain specimins from the Geology Museum in London during WW2.

Bodge Deep Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Nordens were the cuting edge at the time and were as a rule removed from the aircraft whilst on the ground back at base. Tony you have a PM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
