Not massively expanding, although the window did pop out of my shed due to a surfeit of Spitfire a while back. The Sea Vixen panel has made just enough progress not to stop, but if I do reach a dead end I will think of you Pagen!

Thanks Terry, splendid illustration. I’ll stay on the lookout for a Mk2 though, to avoid any cutting. Having survived this long it seems a shame to take a hacksaw to it now!

I think that came out wrong, Anon! Still, any hole (filled) is a goal. Even your older, larger hole Pagen. Hopefully, and more sensibly, a large UC indicator will appear. Otherwise I’ll have to make up a mounting plate. Nice photo, although the rear seat panel reminds me of an aeronautical gravestone…

Cheers Graham.The stick annoyed me every year with it’s wrong description, then I found a picture of something similar. Not much aviation stuff this year, in fact not much good at all. Did you see the £150 ‘Horsa’ rudder pedals? They weren’t.

Got there in the end. Also fitted to MG FFs in He111 noses. Pleased.

Thanks for the pictures Terry, the two are very similar. Mine has another knob cut out on the bottom left hole, which suggests it wasn’t meant to have the UC indicator there, but another compass. Anon, if a DI mk2 has but one knob, then that’s the one for me! Bruce?

Cheers Anon, two votes for T7 so I’ll go with that! The Mk7 pilot’s notes (different to T7? I’m going by what it says on the cover) show a DI with two adjusting knobs, mine only has space for one bottom right. A painting in the modellers datafile of a T7 panel shows the curved bottom edge (only noticed now!) a Mk1a DI and the UC indicator top of the central pedestal. Bottom left on the panel is another compass. Thanks for the offer of templates. I’ll hold out for originals for a while but might well be interested. Did you see the panel first time on ebay? It came down a little from the initial £2,700!
