Having been “volunteered” by the enthusiast group to which I belong (“The Aeroplane Collection”), for the job of making static display replica instrument panels for the Messenger and Gemini I have started thinking about it, looking for photographs, identifying suitable instruments, etc, but would be grateful for some help.
Do you have any drawings, or parts lists?
Do you have any dimensions?
or even,
Do you have any photos of original Messenger and Gemini instrument panels?
Any assistance in this project, particularly in scans, or loans of pilots notes, maintenance manuals, etc would be not only gratefully received but will also help to keep the Miles name in the public conscience.
Thank you,
Terry

They had a Gemini panel off me about a year ago – that should be a good reference.

I have a few pages from the Gemini PN showing the instrument panel.
Send me a PM and I will forward it to you.
