Virtually certain DB. We thought they were Dak before we saw em and would have fitted into our 315th TCG display!

I will take a guess that it came from one of the Ace Freighters Connie’s that ended their days at Coventry.

You might want to be seated for my guess, but I’m thinking early Constellation variant!
I’m guessing the odd two guage for four readings layout is that the engineer would have the primary info on his panel.

Very nice.
I would think the missing instruments are relatively easy to find.

Definately 4-engined, the needles on manifold and RPMs go 1234

Twin RPM’s and twin MAP’s suggest a twin-engined type.
Definitely airliner. Looks too modern for DC-3, perhaps Convair 440 type?
