I found these 2 instrument panels being thrown and and wanted to save them from a landfill. I am not in the aviation field and hope someone can help me identify them. Any help or suggestions on how would identify these would be appreciated.
Here are some pictures.

Thank you TonyT for your help!

I keep looking for the left one, the problem is unlike a car panel where they are fixed, aircraft panels change and vary as avionics are replaced and updated, so you may well find the odd variations on your panel, but the basics will remain the same, ie say the two rows of five engine gauges, this is simply because you would have to do major loom or pipe work changes to move their positions, however coupled Artificial Horizons or ADF indicators on the main part of the panel can and will move as the radio fit is updated / renewed. You may find the panel has been discarded because a new avionics suite has been installed.
The other I think is a test set one, or something helicopter.

Icutfilm, No idea what they are from, but you don’t have to post the images over and over again. Posting them once in the thread is enough.

Not sure its a King Air. If that vertical slot on the lower right side is a gear selector, the position doesnt seem right for KA series.
Also the Max ITT limits look low for a PT6A engine, if indeed that is what they are. In addition KA have 6 rows per column for engines, not 5, although this doesnt mean that there wasnt a lower panel that could house the 6th indicator.

A quick “Image Google” leads me to believe you are not a million miles out Peter.

almost looks like Beech 350 200 type?
By: TonyT - 11th January 2013 at 15:59
Temps would indicate turbine or turbo prop, dual row of gauges would indicate a twin…. stick push test would indicate T tail.. AOA is angle of attack….. Data transfer is for Attitude and Heading, I see HSI is there to so it has Autopliot.

And a couple more pictures.

Neither has any part numbers.
Here are some additional pictures. Can someone suggest how I can identify them?
Thanks for everyones feedback. I appreciate your help.

Doesnt look like a wessex panel?
By: Balloo - 10th January 2013 at 19:53
Agree with Smirky about the rh panel, especially with those connectors cut outs along the bottom edge.
By: smirky - 10th January 2013 at 19:02
lh one reminds me of Wessex, rh one almost certainly ground test equipment

Panels i/d
Something says Helicopter to me – especially the sonar panel one. Hydrophones are underwater microphones, for listening for subs, etc.
Could be from a military helicopter sim, is there such a thing?

Left hand one looks Cessna ish
By: Balloo - 10th January 2013 at 17:47
Are there any part numbers written, etched or stamped on the back of them?
The format of these numbers MAY give a clue to at least the aircraft manufacturer.

I have moved this from GA to historic as I find the idea of ‘sonar’ in a civil aircraft (If it is indeed aviation-related) fairly unlikely.
