There was a German model too but I remember something about a lack of information, so it didn't make it into Il2. Do you know what aircraft your sights came from?

I don't think the Navy used them for their prop fighters, the gyro components on these early gunsights were quite susceptible to elements and excessive vibrations, maybe that's why..

My gunsights were originally MkIID installed on Spits, converted afterwards to MkVIII to use on planes like the Vampire and ultimately the Hawker Hunter. They're lovely pieces of kit, and could be converted to their original ww2 spec at a fraction of the cost of a wartime model.
