dark light

See if you can ID these instrument panels- RAF 1930s/40s

have a stab – 682al – am expecting good things…

From a rare, but front line RAF beastie, only one in the UK now, Perchance that figure will increase soon…. 😉

They are in the correct position, either side of the main panel but their unusual shape may give em away…

They’re from a Fairey Battle…

…reggub! (****** backwards)

Actually, one thing my cockpit photo collection lacks is a good clear shot of a fully fitted out Battle dashboard.

I’ve a good one of a bare panel in Canada showing these two sub panels quite clearly (hmmm, not the exact same panels, me wonders?) and a smashing shot of a partially stripped cockpit which turned up on eBay Deutschland – one of those endless souvenir pics taken in 1940 by German Squaddies.

TBC – sworn to secrecy – teaser at this stage to see who could identify the panels – pretty distinctive so I thought someone would!
