Anyone recognise this "Recognition Device Control"?

Ironically it’s function is “Recognition Device Control” as listed in the AP, but no one can ID this instrument. A manufacturer or similar designs seen in other aircraft would be a start.

This is from the Westland Whirlwind aeroplane….

Here is a CGI representation… or about as best as we can do from the above blurry photo.

Any ideas?

It is similar in handle shape…..the Hurricane on is located on starboard side on tubing by pilots side….I have not fitted one to mine yet…..early ones had two handles later only one…see here

I’ve looked really REALLY hard and can’t for the life of me find any other pictures that show those things. I’m still just as stuck 🙁

Except this one I should say… although not much better quality. 🙁

I don’t know anything about the item, but if that is a computor generated picture I’m astounded!

So am I every time Matt sends me a finished instrument, but remember these are all to scale and still have to be ‘textured’ to look exactly like the originals, when everything is finished the cockpit will be better than new… 😉

Thanks Tony. You don’t happen to have any examples of this in a Hurricane do you? I’ve been scouring the internets and can’t find anything myself…

Looks like a kind of pull/push light control – I’ve seen something similar somewhere – just cannot remember where atm!
