The Vickers Predictor

[Brian Wolfe]

Hello Everyone.

I pick up this postcard today showing the Vickers Predictor in use during WW II.

The back of the card reads,

"Predictor - The Vickers Predictor is an ingenious mechanised contrivance for determining the course and future position of hostile aircraft. It transmits the information automatically to dials on the A.A. gun."

The Predictor is not shown too well in the photo as the Royal Artillery members are blocking the view.

It was leading edge tehcnology in its day which was needed due to the ever faster aircraft they were trying to knock out of the sky.

Cheers

Brian
