Just got this today glad it made it in one piece and working condition. Been wanting one of these for a long time. If I could afford a sector clock I would but these are issued to the RAF and same movement and case a cheaper way to go still can't believe the price I got this for. A few photo's

Was interesting setting this clock up. It's a heavy clock had to use a stud finder to find the proper place that would take the weight of this clock I used a long screw that I used my drill to put it in the wall. The pendulum you install that after you get it on the wall. There is a side door to put the pendulum in and a bottom door that locks to adjust the bob attached to the pendulum to adjust the speed. So far it is running OK. These have eight-day movement and is a fusee movement chain driven. The dial sure has a lot of aged character.

You know the US Army Air Corps in WW2 had a similar sector clock made by Seth Thomas in a ships clock type case had a stranger colorful dial maybe used on bombing missions were US and British bomber did a mission together, so they are on the same page.
