Hi Waynne,

If you mean the two large Attitude indicators, I have a pair. If not, let me know what they look like as I may have them.

Regards

Nigel

There was a shackle at the scrapyard the other day – with a data plate with Westland Aircraft on it and a date of 67 – I assume from a Wessex.

In the centre of the shackle was a bar with a sliding nit – I assumed some sort of ground handling kit.

It weighed 13 kg and they charge scrap metal value.

Let me know if it is of any use to anyone and I can see if it is still there….

Brian see the post above re YHPG, it may be something they could use.

Regards Rad.

Does anyone know what the Part Number is for the Lear Sphere Attitude Indicator, as fitted to the Wessex (RAN). I assume it is the same as fitted to the RN Helos as well.
I am trying to acquire two for our instrument panel.

Have you tried the YHPG guys at Aeroventure for a source? They’re a decent bunch of lads & the web site is www.yhpg.co.uk
