Looks very strange with the tail wheel 😮 . Maybe it was the only jet aircraft with tail wheel?

Hi Herbert, Not the only one, but certainly one of the very few !
see Yak15 & Me262 proto.

Well looks like this forum has come up trumps again with helping me identify this panel! I’ll look forward to restoring it back to its original layout, all the instruments seem the pretty basic post war issue etc.)

Keep us update on that one, I (certainly “we”) really like it !!! 🙂

Cheers,

Olivier

Attached, Attacker’s pilot’s note

It is a Supermarine panel, it is not Swift (well not F7), though the centre panel is very similar, I would suggest either Attacker or Scimitar. Attacker would be a fantastic (and as VACB) says, rare, item to have well done!

Thanks for the suggestion Vacb, if you do come across the pilots notes then I would appreciate any confirmation. I am keen to restore the panel so any pictures or diagrams would be appreciated. I know I have seen this panel somwhere before either in a cockpit or in some pilots notes but can’t think where and it’s one of those things that keep niggling me!

Possible ID

Just a thought but it may be that the part number you quoted is Supermarine.

I think that the 398 prefix denotes a Supermarine Attacker. Unfortunately I cannot find my pilots notes of this aircraft to confirm the layout of the panel.

If it is Attacker then it must be very rare as only a few were made.

Michael
