A Second World War period German Luftwaffe aircraft magnetic compass by C. Plath, Hamburg, detailed 'FK38, Werk Nr 22530, Fl 23233'. Provenance: from the estate of the late David Sadler and originally owned by his cousin Anthony ‘Tony’ Gaze, DFC and two bars, Australian fighter pilot and racing driver. Note: Tony Gaze joined the RAF in 1940 and was based at Westhampnett, West Sussex. He flew 488 combat missions and is credited with 12.5 aerial victories, including a V-1 rocket and a Messerschmitt Me 262 jet. After the war, Tony was instrumental in the establishment of motor racing at Goodwood, after putting forward the idea to Frederick Charles Gordon-Lennox, 9th Duke of Richmond, also known as Freddie March. Tony suggested that the roads around RAF Westhampnett would be a great place for racing. Freddie March went on to found the Goodwood Motor Circuit at his Sussex estate. David Sadler clearly idolized his older cousin, which lead to his later interest in both Second World War aviation and motor racing, and items belonging to Tony were passed to him.
