Replica RAF Duxford sector clock

The clock face is marked with five-minute sector teeth which enabled aircraft positions to be recorded along with the colour of the triangle beneath the minute hand at the time of sighting.

Quartz movement powered by 1 AA battery (not included).

Made from brass and pine sourced from sustainable forests.
