Thanks everyone 🙂

Beaufighter VI – I will try Hendon again and see what happens. There certainly must have been ones issued (and to confuse it all some of the NAA archives switch between describing the DAP21 and BD43A, and the cockpit layouts are different too – both Australian though) Moorabbin certainly does not appear to have it as that’s where the Beaufort one is. Will try the Narellan museum again, but they were not sure where anything was when I last contacted them. Same with HARS…. and I did try and get plans etc under FOI but was told they were probably in deep storage somewhere and no-one knew 😡

aircraftclocks – thanks for the links. I have the panel layout files (in fact I have the large image of the layout on order) but the other one I had not seen. Thats a start and thats what counts.
