All RAF Sector Clocks are exceptionally rare.
Our recent research reveals that the ones made for Air Defence (the
command and control system of RAF Fighter Command) had inward pointing
segments. Most were electric slave clocks, and a few mechanical
ones were made. In the last fifteen years I have only seen two
examples. Clocks with outward pointing segments are almost all
mechanical clocks and were used in ops rooms throughout the RAF.

We reiterate our advice that we do not recommend buying
sector clocks on eBay. Many of the sector clocks that appear on
eBay are ordinary RAF wall clocks with fake re-painted dials. The ratio over the last 12 months
is about
three fakes to each genuine clock.
