    DH112,

    Your panel sits between the pilots legs on the Sea Venom FAW.22, immediately above the 1961 Intercom Amplifier.

    It differs from the one shown in my copy of the FAW.22 pilots notes and AP in that your panel shows 1 double switch hole and then 4 single switch holes (albeit with the bridge missing between 3 & 4, numbered from left to right), whereas my AP shows 2 double switches and then 3 singles.

    The double (that’s a single on your panel) is for the pitot head heater and Angle of Attack probe heater. It looks like your panel was fitted to FAW.22’s before the introduction of the AoA probe. The wiring idents on the reverse side of the panel (shown in your PM) match those for this panel in the FAW.22 AP.

    From left to right the switches are …..

    Battery Isolator, Pressure Head Heater (and later AoA probe heater also), Flight Instro Switch, Fuel Pump, Eng Starting Master Switch.

    The two holes are for the Audio Deck Landing Aid controls.

    Hope this helps.

    XG692 & WN957

    Hey look… its my old N-202

    Dave,
    Where did it go after it left you?

    I was in the funny coloured Volvo that went past with lots of flashing lights

    mlc,
    I was the one hiding behind the steering wheel, hoping you’d keep going. 😉 – Only Joking!

    Whats the plans for her once you have stripped her for spares?
    All the best Matt

    Matt,
    The nose and rearmost belly panels are going to WN957

    The front belly panels are going elsewhere.

    What’s left will be a flat bottomed section, emcompassing the cockpit floor, extended from the windscreen to the front bulkhead. At the moment I’m thinking of kitting it out as a wheelchair/aged accessible F6 cockpit display, but I’ll have to see how my other commitments pan out.

    Cheers,

    Mike 🙂

    That was me ….

    Hunter F6, N-202 (Ex- Dutch AF, Pinewood Studios Etc..) heading ‘Up-North’ to provide parts for my Hunter F5, WN957 and others.

    She was recovered from a Torquay Nightclub, a couple of years ago, where she was wall mounted. Hence she’s pretty well stripped out and cut off behind the windscreen.

    Cheers,
    Mike
