Instrument panel question
Posted by Wind_drawing@reddit | aviation | View on Reddit | 7 comments
Hi all, I went to the Wings Over Shellharbour Airshow in Illawarra, NSW, AUS on the weekend and found a stall run by HARS (Historical Aircraft Restoration Society) selling historic aircraft parts. I bought this panel and the stall attendant said it "may have been part of a spitfire" but he wasn't sure. Is there any way to figure out where it used to belong with certainty? It would just be cool to know :) Thanks!

Push to engage clutch?

Yeah I'm thinking helicopter

I don't think that is, all the pictures I see of the the instrument panels for them have rounded edges, the flat side give more of a bomber or a cargo aircraft vibe, but definitely is of the era
