Enlarger bomb sight

I believe Doyle brought Holmes back due to his fans' outcry, but not Moriarty (who I believe was only in two of the original stories).
 
Pretty neat, but I am sure there were no extra Sperry or Nordon available. They were guarded like gold and removed from the bomber between missions. All were super secret.

A nice wood mock up would have been nice.
 
Well, that movie, resp. this thread brought Holmes & Watson enlargers to my attention in first case.
 
s that a DeHavilland Mosquito?
At least three different twin engine bomber types were employed in the film: Douglas Boston. Bristol Blenheim IV and a Vickers Wellington.
 
isn't the aircraft taking off a completely different type to the one in flight (a Wellington?)?

Yes, it's a Douglas A20 or DB-7 Havoc taking off, followed by a Bristol Blenheim flying over low (or possibly, if we are in Hollywood, it's Canadian-built equivalent the Bolingbroke) before it settles down into a Wellington.

Note also how huge the space the boffin is in is - bit like Con-Air, where the plane is ten times bigger inside than out!
