Can anyone hazard a guess as to what type this came out of please?
I bought it at Whitwick today with the intention of dismantling it for parts for my Mosquito panel. Before I do that I’d like to know what it came from though.
It’s obviously British and from a twin, piston engined job (unless there were two of these of course?) but which?

Panel for parts
What an excellent find!
This is an excellent donor of a lot of very useful parts for your project!

Thanks chaps, Sea Prince it is then.
I must admit I feel a bit guilty about dismantling this, but what it cost me to buy as a complete unit wouldn’t even have paid for half of the parts if I’d bought them separately.
FLY.BUY – will be in touch.
Dave T – sorry Dave, they were part of the reason I bought it!

Definitely Sea Prince, so most likely the same as Pembroke as well.

I’ve checked the Pilot’s Notes for the Viking and Varsity and you can rule these out.

Mark this is an educated guess and I certainly stand to be corrected. I think I have seen one of these panels before and it may possibly have came from a Percival Pembroke or Sea Prince.
Once you have stripped out what you need if you are inetersted in selling the panel and what ever remains let me know. I have both the main instrument panels for a Pembroke and Sea Prince so it would compliment them.
Certainly a good find, well done!
