P-47D Mk8 Reflector gunsight

Hello,

Building a instument panel of a P-47D-21-RA(see photo). This panel will be supporting our recovery results of P-47D 43-25515 of the 56th FG/63rd FS which crashed on September 21st,1944 near Lochem, Holland.
I'm looking for info on the Mk8 reflector gunsight. And I was wondering if the Mk8 was fitted or that this Jug was allready re-fitted with the gyro-gunsight?

The results of this recovery can be found at this link:
Recovery and photographs

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards,
Sander

The P-47D-30 still uses the MK 8.

Your welcome or (graag gedaan).

I like your website and the scientific approach. The more research we can do the better. For you guys it's really the truth is out there (to dig up).
