Hi all - has anyone come across any visual references for the RAF SABS bombsight? In a perfect world some dimensional drawings would be ideal - but I think that's a bit too much to hope for. So far, I've able to find very little, with this being about the best I've come across:

 
From the manual:
1) Air bomber's view of the sight
2) Air bomber's view with cover removed
3) Front three-quarter view of the sight

Wow! You are a star! Thank you. Is the manual available anywhere? What would be really useful is a dimension of one or more of the parts so I can give it some scale - but what you've already posted is great!

I thought I had looked and there was nothing, but your follow-up post make me look again -- and indeed I missed the main particulars:

length (roll lock to roll dashpot): 19.5 inches
width: 16 inches
depth: 20 inches
