Anyone know what this is off?

A guy on my forum wants to know what aircraft type this Smiths altimeter has come from, does anyone recognise it?

I maybe a bit daft for not having noticed this sooner, but it does appear to be remarkably similar to the one fitted in the Trident! I guess if that is so, it could equally be off something like a One Eleven 510ED?

Hi yes,

I have another picture of it from its owner:

They also say:

I have a Smiths Flight Control System (Kelvin & Hughes) altimeter, model KHE-0201W.

It has an 8-pin connector port on the back and 3 screened breathing holes. The front has a Kollsman window with millibars for pressure setting. There is an orange flag and a green “heading” type bug on it. One dial controls the pressure setting and the other adjusts the bug.

regards

Toby
