A few friends, some buckets with water and carwash could be a good start in the battle against corrosion, after that a few tins paint from a discount shop woold make a finishing touch for the time being. Some bottles of beer makes the party even better.

@ Bri
Anyway, what is a British instrument doing in a German plane?
Well that is because the Fokker T.8W’s that the germans used were captured while they were on the productionline by Fokker. The Germans ordered that these aircraft had to be finished for them, Fokker had already the instruments in stock and simply used them for the captured T.8W’s.
As far as I know the Fokker T.8W is the only aircraft that was used operational by both, the German and British armed forces, if there are more I should like to know which type of aircraft.
Best regards,

Hei,
Thanks for your replies! Attached a photo from the entire instrumentpanel from the Fokker T.8W, in this case one from a T.8W that was used by the Germans. I have asked some other people and one said that it could be a gauge to indicate the trim ( angle ) from the aircraft. Perhaps that has to do with when to drop the torpedo. There is an Askania turn & bank indicator fitted so for sure the Reid & Sigrist gauge must have another function.
I am also interested to know more about the Negretti & Zambra company, was it part of Smith & sons or not?
Best regards,

Hei,
Attached 2 photos from what I built with drawings made by Pim Pouw.
It’s my own project but the help of Pim made it a lot eassier to get so far, I hope I can start next spring with a part of the wooden fuselage. If there is anyone who knows were I might be able to find an air cylinder for the Dunlop brakes, please do let me know.
