Does anyone have a good picture of an original Hawker Hind instrument panel , or better still a listing of parts – in particular the type of clock and sec/ref for the various switches. I haven’t been able to find a copy of Hind Pilots Notes either, so maybe that has some detail? Thanks in advance.

Mike – thanks very much , just what I needed to know. Now all I need to do is find them. Would anyone know of a source?

The electrical box is a Jetison switch (Bomb or Stores) 5D/591 or similar, the clips that plug in either side are 5D/593 596 etc.
The square sitting on spacers is indeed a Constantinesco Valve adjustment tap( The tap not seen in photo), for the synchronization gear.

The box is a Jettison Switch which appears to be missing its flap plate and indicator lamp. I think the other item which is half hidden by the throttle is possibly the valve for the main fuel tank.

I don’t appear to have recorded the title as I was in a bit of a rush when I photographed these a good number of years ago but I think they are from the unit equipment tables which used to form the Appendix to the Volume III (Spares Schedule) of an Air Publication.
5c items

Anneorac- excellent! Thanks very much. I take it that this document is some sort of stores provisioning list? By any chance does it also have the 5C or 5CW section for the Hind – that would identify the switches which are the last items I need.

Sorry for the poor quality.

Thanks for the list aircraftclocks. My guess on the instruments was about 90% correct. Finding a Televel is still a challenge though. Aerovintage do have a few useful bits as well.

That sounds like a nice project – mainly familiar instruments arranged in a fun way!
