Aircraft Spruce ships to the UK... They sell non-TSO approved versions
really cheap. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/in/compasses.html The
non-TSO ones look identical to the same model number Airpath compass.

Thank-you all very much. My interest is for my car as the many car compasses
I have had are quite quite useless, often 90 degrees out. I always place
them away from metal and always check the car's heading with a bearing
compass. I used to be a squadron compass officer in the Fleet Air Arm, so I
do have some experience. I cannot believe how manufacturers can sell such
rubbish to car drivers.
