    What have I Here?

    Hi All,

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Lots of questions with these. Sorry for the small pics.
    • Are these items WW1/WW2/Post war?
    • What type of glove is this? RAF/USAF/Luftwaffe?
    • What type of hat is this? RFC/RAF/Luft./USAF?
    • What are these machines?
    • What values do they have? (Glove is a pair, other one not to hand at time of photographs)

      Hat. Label has a picture of a head with a bird sat on it (?) and it says "Registered, Garment Guaranteed."

          The machine, as it says, is a navigational computer, uesed by pilots to plot courses and flight times. Pretty standard for use in aircraft in the 1940s.

          Here's a link to one just like it in a musuem in Australia: https://collection.maas.museum/object/372522

            Thanks Peter.

            One has just popped up on a UK dealers site so I now have an idea of value.

              Anyone have any info wrt the hat & gloves?

              Don't know why but I'm thinking the hat may be RFC period?
