Another day at the museum today....got some pics of the mystery panel.....i couldnt ask today as i was pretty much by myself all day.
Ive thrown in a couple of others as well....just random views around the store Im in.

Whats it from ?

That last pic is of a wind tunnel test model......it weighs over 100kg.(about 5 ft long) No one seems to know why they have it or where it came from.

So, if you know what that panel is from, i would be interested to know.

Cheers

I knew you would know....thank you Mr W

. It was the Mach meter that had me stumped....didn't think the Vamp had one.
Hope your feeling better ....look after yourself ....

As well as the vamp, i found a Dak panel (no gauges, but we do have them) also P-40, harvard. I was thinking i could make a "master" of each, and maybe later try and build something up.Do you remember , there was a bar here in CHC (the vic and whale) and they had a whole Dak cockpit /nose section hanging above the counter

....wonder if its still there, and if he would part with it......
