<>I have always been rather a enthusiast for pre-war
aircraft, in particular the DH60 Gipsy Moth and to only a slightly lesser degree
the Tiger Moth.
As a result I have been considering the possibility
of building up an instrument panel of the type as fitted in the Gipsy Moth for
display in the SA Air Force Museum (along with the only known engine in the country) and according to the DH Moth Club in the UK these are
the instruments I would need:
Airspeed Indicator (40 - 160 mph AV
549
Altimeter (0 - 16, 000 ft) AV 576
Oil Pressure Mk VIIIC (0 - 100 lb/sq in) AV
455
RPM Guage Mk V (600 - 2, 600 rpm) AV
504
Level Cross / Lateral Inclinometer Mk VIII AV
723
Husun Mk IIIA Compass AV 745
Watch Mk V AV 687
Would anyone know where examples, suitable for display only can be located. Also can anyone provide the exact dimensions for making the instrument panel itself?
