Rate of Climb indicator.

Fantastic work well done, its truely a collection to be proud of.

Hopefully someone can give me some advice, I am currently fitting instruments to a WWII RAF Blind Flying Panel and having trouble with a Rate of Climb Indicator, how is this fitted to the slot allocated on the panel. The instrument has a dial or stem on the bottom right hand corner, is this removed prior to inserting the instrument on the panel or is the panel inserted over it?
Hope someone can help
Thanks

Yes another good event, combined with a BBMF Flypast and aerojumble. Would be nice if we could have 2 of these events each year, maybe one held down South somewhere? It may attract different exhibits in addition to making it more accessable to other enthusiast.

This event seems to be getting better and better each year, lets not forget the two Mustangs who also attended. Well done to the organisers and those who took the time to fly their aircrafts in.Thankyou.

Thanks….

Thanks for this everybody, Great help, I’ll now try to source the missing instruments from aerojumbles. As previously stated the RPM hole doesn’t fit a mechanical RPM guage but fits the Mk IVB however having said this its not a perfect fit. On the subject of perfect fits were a lot of the instruments of this era fitted on the outside of the panel as opposed to the inside, examples being the Boost guage and rate of climb as the indentations on the panel suggest so??
At the time of placing this article on the forum I also sent the photo to the curator at the RAF Museum, he has wrote back this morning stating that its a Proctor III. Once again well done everyone your help was greatly appreciated.
I have another panel complete with instruments up for your scrutiny, this time an RAAF mosquito circ 1942 , I hope to submit the photo of this on the forum real soon and look forward to your replies and observations, thanks again to all!!!!!!!!!!

Thankyou all !!!

Wow! This is the first time I’ve used the forum and I am amazed at the replies. Solved the same day! A big thankyou to all, 682al you were right the panel was obtained at Shoreham aerojumble, initially the seller thought it may have been a Fairey Fulmar but later changed his mind. Web Pilot many thanks for identifying it and the links this helps immensely. And well done to Anneorac for confirming all this!
I plan on restoring the panel, I have the main 6 Blind instruments ie Alt, ASI, Gyro, Horizon, Rate of climb, Turn and slip etc…any idea’s what the remaining 4 instruments should be???? The 2 on the top and the 2 to the right of the panel.
Thanks again.
