We are in the process of restoring some components for Meteor NF.14 WS807, one of these is the main pilots instrument panel.
Below is a photo of the panel and I would like to know what instruments are missing?
Many thanks in advance.

Clock – no
Oil pressure gauges – almost certainly, but need to know the range
U/C indicator, yes, but need to find it!!

Thanks for the info chaps, I went out to my overfilled garage and luckily enough, the manual I require was on the AP racking,
Bruce, what are the chances that you’ll have a Clock, two Oil Pressure Gauges and an U/C Position Indicator to fit this panel?

Ive got the SAM book on the Meteor which has extracts from the manuals and shows the panel in question from an NF13. If you want to PM me a snail mail address I will copy it and forward for you. The book also shows the NF14 rear panel as well.

Timely post, as you know Nige i’m currently doing Meteor T.7 front & rear panels. I concur with Bruce, they are a bit jumbled up. I don’t have NF.14 notes but from the NF.12, the bottom hole is u/c and it’s flanked by a pair of pressure gauges.
Edit: guys here’s a pic’ of the F.8 panel at MAM….

Sorry, RoC is correct, but in wrong place.
I found pics of an F8 panel – the lower holes are possibly for pressure gauges.
I have a manual somewhere – I’ll see if I can find it.

Top left is a clock – but I guess you already know that!!
Are the existing ones in the right place? I would swap ALT for MACH, and then MACH for RoC. Also RoC seems to early for a Mk14??

Although the metal has been treated and the instruments were removed, they have gone back in as they came out, so I am none the wiser if they are right or wrong.
Thanks for the info Bruce.
