Another Spitfire part i.d. question

I know this is the chassis warning horn switch which is fitted to the throttle quadrant of (all?) Spitfires.

The question is, what is it’s Air Ministry Reference No. and/or Supermarine Part No.?

Any help gratefully received…

I had several, off a shelf in…

…oh what the heck, it’s long gone now.

Good fun, though, wasn’t it?

Hi Alan

I cannot see your picture but, if it’s what I think it is, the reference will be 5c/2024.

The Supermarine type part number is 22336-803

Regards

Michael

Yes it is 5C/2024

Al –

In the Mk. IX Pilot’s Notes it says that the horn was only fitted to the early Mk.IX’s.

So I would suggest that the change occurred somewhere around the switch over between Mk.V and Mk.IX production.

Can’t help you on the ref’s though, I’m afraid.
