RAF Compass and tray: any idea which aircraft it's from?

[Allan Hunter]

Hello Everyone,

I just got this compass and its mounting tray. It's RAF, a P.11 and the tray seems to be similar to that on a Fairy Albacore, but I'm willing to be corrected! All ideas gratefully received.

I've done some internet searching and it seems it might be from a Tiger Moth. I'm not sure, as it looks a fair bit like a Defiant mounting tray. I can't get a really good picture of that set up, though. The p.8 and p.11 compasses were fitted to a huge number of aircraft, so I'm focusing on the tray.
