Dear Sirs,
A sextant has turned up in a friends Father's effects.
It is complete with a faded green case the instrument is in excellent condition. I have since been told the certificate of issue was from RAF Warton Lancashire, UK
A faded name has been written on the case Lt. ***** E
B.17- 177. I am not sure if 177 is a shortened "tail number". THe friend would like find if possible if Lt. *****E survived the war and was returned to his family
Kind Regards
Tony Regan
