T1 Bombsight, Computer

Cosford, Hangar Three Aircraft & Exhibits

The T1 is a gyro-stabilized bombsight which compensates for the movement of an aircraft by displaying the impact point of a bomb even when the aircraft is not in straight and level flight.

The computer combines information set by the bomb aimer and readings from the aircraft’s systems.
