    The US one will be available on line, that’s where I have located it in the past. The MOS drawing could well be in an archive somewhere as to where?

    I will have to hunt a bit deeper to locate any drawings I may have.

    Send me a PM and when I locate then I will send them to you. I am in the middle of moving at the moment, so I make no promises.

    Smiths standard 0825-302

    For letters, Ministry of Supply drawing No. Z.3587 Issue 2 or MS33558 (ASG), both apply as these are identical.
    However numerals are different, Smiths civil instruments use the US standard and MOS instruments used the UK standard.
    This is from a document dated 1958 and last revised in 1961.
    Now for the bit that may well apply to your query. There is a policy statement that says:

    Aircraft instrument dials, or panels, shall have characters in accordance with this standard unless Granby Type Face is specifically required.

    Smiths font

    Some where I have the font spec sheets from Smiths. I have both the commerical and military ones. They are dated some time in the 50’s so may not apply to the instruments you are interested in.

    You would be looking for a copy of AP4018 Vol 3.

    This is not an IPB for the aircraft but you will find assembly numbers etc referred to which may help you.

    If you can get your hands on, AAP428, Volume 8 – Equipment establishment table covering maintenance spares for Beaufighter aircraft, this may be of interest to you as well.

    I do not have a copy of this AP. But I found that Archive NZ does. Unfortunately it’s in the main archive in Wellington.
    It is on my list of archival documents I wish to get out when I am next down there.
    If of course you can not wait and have it digitized please let me know.

    AN7505

    Could it be a standard AN7505 seat?

    I do not have a copy of this AP but my database shows that there was an issue in 1944. This most likely means that the copy/record I got this information from showed a date in 1944.

    I have lots of info on early bomb sights which I have been thinking of putting up on the wiki. It however is low on my priority list while I digitize all my research papers.
    All part of being able to find what I want when I want it.

    Will add to the wiki in time on this subject.

    Maybe
    The drawing number for the “column tube” is E.43 which appears to cover the rubber pedals as well.
    Drawing E.37 is associated with “socket (intermediate on 15 for elevator)”. 15 in this case being the column tube with housing and ball race.
    I can offer documental proof if required.
