I’m glad some of you folks have been able to help Radar Archive identify his instrument panel. I really must add the photos of my relic to my queryof 24 Oct.

Thanks very much guys. This certainly looks right. Although there are a variety of different types shown for Beech 18s on Airliners.net, one or two are pretty well spot-on. I’m happy to say we’ve found a match so thanks to SadOleGit especially, and TT also, for the ID.

Dont you work a few hundred yards from a Beech 18! Was inside it many years ago.

Flown hundreds of hours in the Beech 18 – in MS Flight Simulator!

Cheers,

I have to say I thought Beech 18 – was reserving judgement until I refresh my memory with our aircraft tomorrow!

Hmm, that’s a possibility I’d not thought of

Thanks for the comments so far, but c’mon guys – surely someone knows what this is from. Isn’t anyone going to rise to the challenge and come up with an answer?

Give us a hint about where it came from!

For what it’s worth I would say the donor aircraft was intended for mainly single pilot operations judging from the layout of the apertures in it. I would also hazzard a guess that it was multi engined. On that score I may well be wrong and probably am. Further guessing leads me to believe it is relatively modern (post 1960) and possibly (but not necessarily) from a light aircraft.
