The dream of a future where people would travel the world at twice the speed of sound became a reality when Concorde made her first test flight on 2 March 1969

and spread power and influence around the globe

Greenwich Sundial Compass MODELKITS The dream of a futureOur brass pocket sundial is a completely self contained portable instrument, with a compass for alignment and velvet carry pouch for protection. The gnomon is set for latitudes around 50 degrees North, so will be most accurate in the south of England, northern Europe, Canada and so on. At these latitudes this is a functioning time indicator (in as much as sundials ever were!) diameter 3", height 1". Made from chunky solid brass.
