I was just reading about the Gyro Gunsight with regards to the Spitfire and noticed that on aircraft used the Mossie was listed.

I don't recall ever seeing a picture of a Gyro Gunsight on a Mossie, were these only fitted on the night fighters? 

 

That makes sense to me as unlike the K-14 derivatives produced by the Americans the one used by the RAF apparently didn't have a bombing mode.

 

If anybody could shine a light on this I would appreciate it. 

 

P. S. I seem to recall the radar of a Mossie being used in conjunction with a Gyro Gunsight.

Found this mock up of a Night Fighter which shows a Gyro Gunsight.
