[Milsurplus] Speaking of RAF Things: UK P8 RAF Compass

[Bruce MacMillan]

It is a mid war ( war for us began in 1939 :-) ) compass as used in 
Spits, Hurricanes and other aircraft of that size. Most British units 
are marked 6B/726. One source says that the leading zero, 6B/0.726 means 
it's RCAF. Wouldn't matter much as they used the same aircraft.

Could also have been used in Canada for the Empire Flight Training 
School where British pilots were trained.
