Hello friends 🙂
I´m still alive. And also my Mk XIV instrument project seems to be finished soon.
But there are some questions of details left and every instrument panel picture of a late Spit (Mk XIV to F.24 would help). Maybe you could help me with that.
Thanks a lot and all the best,
Herbert

NH904?
Yep. NH904/G-FIRE.
It was quite a struggle to get it all in.

Ah, another interesting panel, quite similar to the TE184 but thÃs time with no boost coil switch, so it should be a Griffon driven one. Interestingly the cockpit interior here is painted black. The avionics is necessary for the ourdays IFR so I won´t argue about the loss of originality. The other instruments are quite in the place where they were during wartime. Only stange is the loss of the antivibration blind flying panel.
By the way I´m still looking for an original nose up/down indicator and a flap valve 😀 …..All right, it was just a try.
Thanks for your postings,
Herbert

More is less!
Here is one I made earlier. 🙂
You could come into LHR in bad weather with all this lot.
It was at the expense of losing several gallons of fuel capacity from the top tank.
Care to speculate which aircraft?

Great! Thanks, that one I didn´t have yet.
That´s an interesting panel. They even economised the blind flying panel.
With these panels of postwar restored Spits everything seems to be possible. 😮
Cheers,
