That’s a lovely pic Keith, guessing it’s at Kemble or Aston Down?

or could it be westonzoyland.. there was lots of them there in the early 50s 🙂

ps,

sorry to sound really nieve:o .. but what is a translite panel, and what purpose does it serve over a older standard type panel ??:confused::o:)

i do beg your pardon Air ministry .. I told someone it was from a manchester scrap yard, and they told me, more than likely failsworth.. so its was a different place .. Hmmmm.. i gotta say i too am wracking my brains, was up till 1am looking at cockpit pics, to try and find out what it is… there seems to be way too many holes for a light aircraft and it looks ( forgive me if i am wrong) like its full of translite fitting holes. wouldnt be early airliner would it ??
transport .. Now i am really considering or wondering , where next to turn to to find out what it is. as soon as i find out ,i can start adding instruments to it :confused::) i even thought beverley maybe.. but yet again proved wrong, the only panel it came close to looking like… and then it was wrong, was the vickers Valiant “PORT ” panel . back to front, but i cant see the top of the valiant panel in a pic, as it is obscured by a higher panel … Groan… 🙁

I am sure i will get there, one thing is for sure, its gota be quite rare if none of you lot havent seen one before .. i wonder if by slight possibility it came from a very obscure type ???

EEP28 is probably an inspectors stamp,so will not help ID the panel other than it being Preston/Warton/or poss Samlesbury ??(assuming they also used EEP stamps) manufactured.

rgds baz

the stamp, is not a inspection stamp, its in yellow small type decal on the back, very small, there is a inspection stamp on the blanking plate blocking off one of the instrument holes, stamped in a circle, DHC .. i gather the yellow typed ident isnt a inspection stamp, saying that, if EEP is on it, it must be something they were contracted to make, as far as i can tell, its a starboard panel, for a twin or qaudruple engined aircraft,and i imagine the “Church window” type hole in the bottom is for the control stick .. :confused:

also the other info i got is it came from Failsworth.. Manchester early 1980s . from what i see from previous threads, Balliol ,brigand,vampire T11,firefly,swift , provost were all at the yard, i reckon it might have from one of these.. the only twin seaters are brigand,balliol provost ,t11, but i dont think its one of these, does anyone know of any other types seen at failsworth ??.. it could be a clue to the panels origin ??

:D:diablo:
