Length, date and references all check out fine, but I don't see a valid license for the image: in fact, it appears to be copyrighted. Harriastalk 10:42, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Nope, that picture can't be used as it is clearly copyrighted (even CCed on Commons entry?) by the museum. It should be removed from Commons as well. I'll flag it there.

Incorrect, the Museum gave me explicit permission to post all of these under a CC-by-SA. It's been checked into OORTS. Pleas undo any edits you have made that claim this.

That photograph was not labeled with a OTRS tag and associated number, so I could not verify the museum gave you permission to release the photo under a CC-2.5 license. This pic also does not have the tag
[1] and would face deletion. Anyway, the copyright symbol below the description with a link to the museum is not appropriate for a Commons photograph. Did they give you permission to release the photo into the public domain or only for use in this article? If it was only for the article and not release for universal use and modification, then the pic can be reposted to the English wiki with a fair-use description (still can't use at DYK). However, the British PD photo of the pilot using the device can be used here. If the museum released universal rights to distribute to you, then contact OTRS
[2] to see what's holding up the tags (pic was uploaded on 10/16, still no tags).

I included the copyright symbol at their request. If this somehow upsets the CC-by, which I don't believe it does, it can be removed. While this gets resolved, can we pass the article?

Ok I'll write to them and see what they say. Would the appropriate replacement be "CC-by-SA Trustees of the Royal Air Force Museum"?

That would be a more appropriate credit, assuming that is what they want.

Well I think we're all good now... "I'm happy for you to remove the "Copyright (C)" element of the Permission if this conflicts with Wiki Commons.". It looks like my first attempt are OORTs indeed failed, so I'm going to send both into the system now. Note: I'm still waiting on one more image from the Imperial War Museum that's much better than any of these, but I don't think I'll get it in time for 11/11.

I don't know how to re-add the image, I'm a bit confused about the editing because it changes so dramatically after you hit save. If someone's better on the technical side, the new image to use, an "action shot", is : File:Course Setting Bomb Sight in use.jpg
