Anon,

Your mail box is full!

Just removed as it shows some personal details!

Again, thank you for the very useful information, Gents.

Let me absorb it for a while and have a word with the owners. I know one of their first questions will be “how much?”

Does anybody have info on sourcing the AP panel?

Hi Anon,

Further to my PM, these are probably more appropriate for XV106:

However, arms wide open for ridicule and correction!

You are looking for a Precision (Encoding) Altimeter and a TA/VSI display. That last one might be a tricky one to find as it is a modern version that includes TCAS information.

The Encoding Altimeter is labeled as ‘Meggit Avionics 28006-01-01’ and the TA/VSI display is a ‘Honeywell Type IVA-81D P/N 066-01171-3706’

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your replies, Gents.

The cockpit which is missing these items is VC-10, XV106,displayed at the Avro Heritage Museum, Woodford. It’s almost complete but is slightly spoiled somewhat by the photographs in lieu of the genuine items, especially as they are in such a prominent location in the cockpit.

Would be happy to have the broken one you have GYD. Can you PM me please. I shall see if it can be repaired and will pass it on to the museum when I’m there next. I’ll also pass on the details for the e-Bay links. There are some funds available to purchase replacements but it’s their decision at the end of the day.

What are the two smaller instruments which are missing to the right of the AH/HSI?

Hi Mike,

Not much use now but, I sold one of the Horizon indicators at Newark last weekend, for a lot less than these:

However, I do still have another with a broken glass front that you are more than welcome to have for nowt!

Hello Anon, which nose section/panel are you restoring? There may be a few instruments out there but if they do end up on ebay, they go for big bucks….
