Mystery instrument panel

Hello everyone

Can anyone identify this panel which belongs to a friend of mine? So far no one has been able to shed any light on its origin.

Cheers Tony, that’s an excellent spot. I looked at a lot of Cessnas and Pipers but didn’t get there!

Some were used by the US military.

It’s a piston aircraft for starters, prop deice and a tachometer counter for engine usage. Would say Piper Aztec as the cut outs are for the tube framing and are the major clue.

Sorry my bad, hadn’t seen a C.2 panel. It must be quite different to the rest of the Sea Prince, Prince, and Pembroke series.

Just a thought though, the Prince/Sea Prince has a type no. of P.57, the RAF Pembroke P.66, some versions allowed access to the nose area, maybe this style of panel allowed for that?

Not like any Sea Prince that I’ve seen, they use one main central panel with two less populated corner panels.
Doesn’t quite look like Canberra either.

You are spot on.

Looks like a Percival Proctor panel to me?
