View translationR.A.F British bubble sextant Mark IXA, AM ref 6B/218 housed in a bakelite case - Military equipment - 1942
No. 88510381
R.A.F Bubble sextant Mark IXA, AM ref 6B/218 housed in a bakelite case mounted with the plaque and painted WG2 SQDN. Winding up mechanism seems to be working but the sextant not fully tested. Signs of ware and discolouration in places.
This sextant was used primarily for celestial navigation. It allowed pilots to determine their aircraft's position by measuring the angle between a celestial body (such as the sun or stars) and the horizon. The “bubble” part of the sextant refers to a liquid-filled level that helps ensure the sextant is properly aligned for accurate measurements.
It was part of the technological advancements made during WWII to improve navigation over long distances, particularly in the absence of modern electronic systems. It was utilized by pilots and navigators in various RAF aircraft. Accurate navigation was crucial for successful long-range bombing missions and trans-oceanic flights.
Before the advent of GPS, celestial navigation was one of the most reliable methods for pilots to determine their position during flights, especially over the vast and featureless ocean.
