Also not sure why everyone keeps stating categorically where these clocks were used – as the evidence I can find as to which aircraft clock was used in which aircraft is very spurious e.g the Mk 2B is always stated as Typhoon even though the 2B spec is dated March 1941 – I assume because the only photograph evidence is a piccie of one in a Typhoon.
The clock that is supposed to be in the centre console is one of the copies of the Jaeger le Coultre chronograph. There are many on ebay from the Stans which are modern productions – but you can get the original ACH from ebay as well – I have an original 1961 which I purchased from a nice gent in the East. It took 3 weeks to get here. The mechanism on the original is far better than in the modern one.
I had lunch at the Red Lion last week – they are building a 71 bedroom Holiday inn express. No rooms this year – but for FL 2011 you may have another option for staying.
