The panel looks like a major panel that you’d see in most civil aircraft today. The usual arrangement is….
Top Left – airspeed
Top Centre – Artificial Horizon
Top Right – Altimeter
Bottom Left – Turn and Bank
Bottom Centre – Directional Gyro
Bottom Right – Vertical Speed Indicator
Heres the same panel section on a modern (late 1980-1990) trainer. This aircraft is simmilar to the Slingsby Firefly and the Grob Tutor.

One more question – are BFP’s a military only piece of kit or were they used in civilian a/c as well?

The 821 is probably an individual inspector. As there is no letter after the ‘DH’, it may well be from Hatfield.

A Dove hey – well that muddy’s the waters a bit given where it came from. More research needed I think…..
Cheers,

Ok my educated guess is a Blind Flying Panel made by De Havilland with the 821 part of the stamp indicating a particular factory. Sound plausible?
