    Hi all, apologies for dipping out, I’ve been working nights so not really been keeping up with current events. I’m glad this sparked a bit of discussion!

    One of the things that made me pose the question in the first place was the fact the counter only reads up to 99 (unless the first reel is broken or damaged) which strikes me as low for either an ammunition amount, or indeed countermeasures? I would say however that Oracal is probably the most accurate, the item was sold as, if I remember the tag correctly “ammo counter probably from Lightning” so it was the “probably” that caused me to pose the question!

    Unfortunately it’s quite hard to find good, clear hi-res images that would  help online, the one at Tangmere has a potential match if you use the interactive cockpit view but I’m not sure if it’s the ammo counter I’m looking at?

    I’ve done a side by side with my photo and Tangmere page…

    I have to say a large part of what you’re all saying is going straight over my head, however it’s giving me a lot of information to go away and look up, every day is a school day! Happy new year all!

    That’s correct, another forum member did indeed identify the ASI for me. Forgive me, perhaps I phrased the statement incorrectly and should have said “having had the part identified” or similar. I just assumed if anyone saw that and this they would understand what I meant.

    Hi again! I can’t work out how to send PMs on here but hopefully you can decipher my email address below (I’ve split it up to try and avoid bots scraping it!…)

    That’s incredible info thank you Terry!

    Do you know if it’s possible to get a hi res version of that? I’m planning to put it in a little display case with that as a background so would love to have a hi res printable version!

    Hi Terry!

    Thanks a lot for the quick response, as it would happen the Vulcan is mine/my mums and was my Grandads favourite aircraft of all time!

    That has absolutely made my day!

    Thank you!
