Hi Richard,

RB> Our crews never had any mirrors or anything like that....

I should have mentioned that I was in Britain and referring to
British kit.

The signaling mirror was simple but effective.  There was a hole in
the middle of the mirror (chrome plated metal) and a hand held target
with cross hairs and a hole in the middle. You held this target at
arms length and then looked at the aircraft (or whoever you were
signalling to) through both the hole in the mirror and the hole in
the target.  You then moved the angle of the mirror so that the sun
either did or did not shine on the target.   Simple but effective.

Thanks for your very interesting reply.
