That Airspeed indicator seems quite reasonable when you consider its original. A good quality repro one from http://www.aerovintagespares.com/avspares/Sopwith_Aircraft_Parts.html will set you back over £1600.

When we built the Camel a few years ago the one thing which took me a bit by surprise was the instrument panel, it cost as much as some new cars. It makes WW2 stuff seem affordable in comparison.

Why?

So how do you work out the insurance value of a collection when there’s this sort of thing going on?

I paid about £50 for one of those inclinometers r one very similar of the same vintage on evilbay a few months ago.
