Hello Flybuy,

The push button you seek is the same one used in spitfires as a fuel button,

Thanks for the link and information Jason, although the button is very similar the one I need is of a smaller size.

Hello,

Does anybody have a clue about which aircraft is this panel from? The data plate says CAA, which makes me think from a civilian aircraft in UK. One of the paper tags on the panel is dated 1964.

Please click on the photos for the larger versions.

Regards,

Vickers Viscount 745, looking at the instruments it would have been configured for the North American market where it saw considerable success in the 60’s and 70’s.

Merkle,
If you are looking for a project at the recent aerojumble in Shoreham the Gatwick aviation museum had a couple of empty instrument panels for sale, one was either a Wessex or Sea king (cannot remember which now) the other was a Whirlwind helicopter which they didn’t have the room to display and remained in the car. Having previously restored a whirlwind panel I can recommend this type. Good long panel which holds a wide variety of cold war instruments and almost all easy to obtain with a bit of time. One of the few panels where you will find pilots and co pilots flight instrument positions, engine and fuel system instruments all in the centre. Quite an interesting project in the scheme of panel collecting. With all the instruments in place it becomes pretty impressive and very heavy! Give them a call if you are interested they may still have either of them.

I’m looking for help identifying the aircraft the following PTT switch was used on. I’ve seen variations on the design used on various British aircraft. Looks very similar to what was used on some Nimrod variants. But this this switch is different in that it’s 2 position, PTT spring loaded to OFF, instead of 3 position.

Nick, i don’t know what a/c type your PTT switch would have been from. All I can say is many of these generic switches have passed through my hands over time. Although the basic design remains the same there are several subtle variations. All I can assume is they were updated as time progressed. The older types had wooden bases. The newer types had more of a square thumb catch. Hang on to it as there are not many in circulation. A lot of British yokes removed from a/c will not have a PTT switch having been removed prior for spares. Therefore always good to have in case you acquire a British yoke. Having said that the exception to the rule was a Ptt switch which Ian was showing me at the recent aerojumble, certainly and odd design in the scheme of things!

Panel mystery ??

Its going to be a mystery to all of us until we can see it for ourselves :highly_amused: Any pics?

Looking at the panel it could be from a B2 Stealth bomber.

Weather outlook is good, hopefully it will be a good one!
