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.
