    A lot of the Pembroke panels have the letters PAF stamped in white ink on the rear. Stands for Percival Aircraft Factory.

    In a busy stressful cockpit, the colour green is deemed to be pleasing to the eye and psycholigically is relaxing to the mind.
    Sounds like bull but believe it or not this is true and thats why Russian military jets were also painted in a green interior.

    Interesting site Mr Rowell, thankyou for bringing it to our attention, no doubt the burnt out section of the fuselage remains in situ? Just wondered if Google Earth picks this up?

    I was interested in the way he described the picture as “Fantastic”, even if the picture was real I wonder how “Fantastic” he would feel if he were a crew member of the doomed aircraft. However I would like to give him the benefit of doubt and perhaps he placed the picture the wrong way around on ebay which can be quite easily done.

    Just thought I would bounce this back to the forefront as a reminder of the Brooklands aerojumble (combined with autojumble) on Sunday 19th July 2009, weekend after this one. Lets hope it’s a good one!

    Having restored many vintage RAF instrument panels in the past, one excellent source is the RAF research dept at Hendon museum. Step one is to log onto their web site, click on the research dept tab, write and detail that you are looking for the Piliots instrumentation layout especially the overhead and side panels for what ever aircraft and model variant (in your case the Twin Pin), enclose your details and address in the e-mail. Wait a number of weeks and you should find the photocopies of the pilots notes showing the cockpit detail through your door. An invoice will normally be attached with the notes for a small photocopying charge, usually a couple of pounds. Time and time again these people have come up trumps for me in the past with regards to cockpit layouts. This is providing the Twin Pin served with the RAF (To which I think it did?) Good Luck!
