Help Wanted " Luftwaffe Kompas ?"
 
hello everybody ,
i am having a problem finding from where this compas is comming from , some say that its it luftwaffe , others says that this is of a german boat ???
i think more of an aircraft ( what aircraft ?)becouse if you look good , you wil see more than 100 springs around the border to minimise the vibrations.
its german for shure : the plate marks are :
" MUTTERKOMPAS "
" Hersteller GVY WERK N°18706 "

It looks like a standard Lw Mutterkompass to me.

For comparison, here is a Lw Patin Mutterkompass from "Luftfahrtmuseum Hannover-Laatzen":

...and it is also listed here with mention of it being fitted to a diverse selection of Luftwaffe types. There are also images here with mention of it being fitted in a Bf109 and if you navigate down this page, you find a compass fitted within the fuselage of an Arado Ar96B...

Kind regards

The word "compass" may easily be misunderstood. In fact, it is the remote sensing unit for the main indicator unit.
