An interesting Item for Sale

Williamson Manufacturing Comp. Ltd. (London UK ) Type F 96 Aerial reconnaissance camera. 
It was made in the sixties for the Canberra bomber.

This large camera contains lots of interesting electro/mechanical components. Exact optical characteristics are uncertain, but the lens (diameter approx 165mm, f/ratio around f/5.5 to f/7.5) would probably make the basis of a nice wide-field refractor. 

Interested parties can phone to view the unit and/or to make an offer to purchase. (All reasonable offers would be considered.)
