Flap position indicator

F. P. I

OK then I’ll sort it out tomorrow. I’ll just need to know how where to send it.

If you’d like to send me a PM with the address that’ll be fine.

Hi Cees, Well I had a look around today and the only one I can find is this one. It isn’t the same one as quoted in our repair manual though as the dial has different markings. Checking back on the records we have only ever repaired one that fits your Pt. no exactly and that was for Air Atlantique in 1994, I assume for one of their Daks (they didn’t give a reg.) Anyway if this one is any good you can probably have it but I’ll have to check with the boss tomorrow. I could send you a copy of the manual page that shows the instrument so you know what a 6A/2136 looks like? Anyway sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

Hi Keithjs,

Don’t be so hard on yourself, it actually looks very much like the flap indicator in the pilot’s notes for the Mk’s II/V III/VII and VI. So if your boss is willing to let it go I’m game.

Cheers

Hi KeithJS and 682Al (glad to see you back again)

Thanks for the replies.

Well it doesn’t have to be work as it is for my Halifax panel. The flap indicator I have at present is more applicable to the Lancaster.

Al, the photo you show looks to be a more modern version I seem to remember on photographs. of Halifax panels, but this is the AM ref.nr as quoted on the official Halifax drawing so must be correct I gather.

Thanks to you both

Cheers

Hi Cees,

I’m pretty certain I can help if Keithjs has no luck.

P.M. me if necessary,

Regards!

Leave it with me HP57 and I’ll have a look at work tomorrow. Does it have to work or is it for static only? Can’t promise anything but I’ll have give it a go.
