    Attached some photos of Germany's standard rangefinders , what did we have ?
    I must admit I simply have no idea , can anyone tell me what our standard flak ranger gear was ?
    I am going to assume that it was made by Barr and Stroud or Ross ....? by Ottway but this is a semi educated guess at best .....can anyone tell me what we Brits had ?

    Thanks in advance js.

    The rf shown I photographed in Brussels a few years ago - great kit . :)

    HAA used the Barr & Stroud Height and Range Finder No. 3 MkIV (U.B.7) with a 9 foot measuring base for mobile units and a heavier 18 foot base H.R.F. No. 10 on static positions.
