bionerd23 | radioactive spitfire warbird altimeter - doped with radium @bionerd23 | Uploaded April 2010 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
i scored a beautiful warbird altimeter!
not only is it a great feeling to hold such an old instrument in your hand... knowing a british pilot has been fighting for life or death in his plane, keeping an eye on it... but the instrument is also insanely hot, radiation wise!
