Former Adastra Operations Manager and Navigator, Mike Wood, was issued with this navigation computer when he joined No 87 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force in early 1951. Used initially for the purpose of navigating aerial survey Mosquitoes in the RAAF, this computer served Mike well during his twenty years with Adastra. During this time, it would have navigated most of the Adastra fleet all over Australia and parts of the South Pacific. If only it could speak!

This item has been incorporated into an aerial photography display at the Queensland Air Museum, Caloundra.
