Another question would be- can anyone identify any other gauges that may have been used in different aircraft, but again with the exact same face as the photo?

Thanks for the replies chaps!

Yes, the gauge looks almost exactly the same as that for the Canberra/Hunter, except the inner ring on the face is green, not white. This is the actual gauge we have which provided the number I gave-

-this is an exact visual match for what we (Bluebird, of course) are after, but typically now we need another one the same, we can’t find one! Hence, wondering what type it was fitted to. If anyone has one of these they can part with- or a very close relative type- please drop me a PM.

Thanks!

Hi there,

AP1086 Sect 6A dated Sep 1966 has 6A/4989 listed for use with Comet with a Kelvin Hughes p/n of KTD0412

Hope that helps

Regards

Dave

12,000 RPM so thinking Avon, Hunter, Canberra. Looks very similar to a 6A/2801 except with slightly fewer white dial markings.
