I’ve been fortunate enough to have acquired an original Spitfire Instrument panel.
The identity of the aircraft it came from is known. I have previously put together a MKII panel but am not sure what the correct instruments would be for the new panel.
The panel came from a HF MK IXe Spitfire.
Would that have an M.P.H SAI or Knots. Would the oil and Rad gauges be the early capillary type or the later electric types
I understand the MK IXe HF had a Merlin 70 fitted and made its appearance in spring 1944
Has anyone got a plan or photos of a panel so that I can identify which instruments I need
