Kompasskalibrering ("Kompensierscheibe")

Fra Kjevik i syd til Lakselv i nord fikk Luftwaffe sine flyplassanlegg meget høy prioritet under utbyggningen av "Festung Norwegen" . Nesten samtlige flyplasser ble bygget ut i festningsmessig stil. Her kan man også skrive innlegg om de enkelte flytyper etc.

Hello,

Does anybody know if the German build in Norway some kind of calibration tool, to calibrate the airplane compass ?

As far as I know, there are different type.
At Gilze, the concrete in the center is replaced by a wouden contruction, with different rooms below the ground level.
I have no more information about the Belgian one.

Anybody an idea ?

Thx.

Johan

I have no idea, but I recall an object at Høybuktmoen being discussed in here before (check photo on top of this page: http://www.kystfort.com/forum/viewtopic ... 72&p=61274 ). Perhaps something similar?

They did have one at Sola, just outside Stavanger. You can still see the remains today in Google Earth at 58°53'37.96"N 5°37'59.39"E .
