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.

Ik heb diverse aankopen bij kot55wek gedaan. Wat hij aanbiedt is ook voldoende gedocumenteerd met foto's en tekst. En ook niet onbelangrijk, kot55wek verpakt uw aankopen zorgvuldig.

Only negative point is that the pen was still filled with ink and when it arrived it was very messy. After cleaning all ok.

Antwoord van de verkoper

I am very sorry for leaving ink inside, I did not think it could cause any issues.

zeer goed verpakt, een 10 voor de verkoper, dank zij nagel FARAGE betaal je meer voor in en uitvoer dan wat het waard is, ik zal geen aankopen meer doen in de UK punt
