Summary
| Description |
English: The Course Setting Bomb Sight Mk IIH was a post-WWI model produced by Elliot Brothers around 1920. It includes several updates compared to the original Mk. I model. In particular, the bombsight now includes two wires on either side of the drift bar, seen extending to the right, which improves the bomb aimer's ability to judge any "drift". In this case the wires have considerable slack in them. Another change is to move the spirit levels used to level the bombsight to much more prominent positions, as levelling was a major problem throughout the CBSS's history. In this image, the wind has been set to be blowing from just to the right of the tail of the aircraft. |
