Unknown device on Tuck's Hurricane
Dear all,
I am not able to recognize the device behind the gun sight (similar to a black box) carried by the Hurricane V6864 flown by Stanford Tuck; any suggestions? Thank you Flavio

Assuming the photo was taken before an op could it be that the object is a folded up map placed there while the shot is being taken or even a book!

Re: Unknown device on Tuck's Hurricane
Thank you for the replies.
However according with one guy from britmodeller this device could be a "dimming screen", used by the pilot to cut down the dazzle from the sun. See here for some photos of this device: http://spitfiresite.com/2010/07/anat...e-cockpit.html. Flavio
