AeroAntique is pleased to share this instrument panel owned by one of our good friends. We welcome inquiries and are happy to put you in contact with the owner of this artifact. Please email us with the name of the artifact at 2banaviator@gmail.com .
This pre-WWII-era DFS Kranich IIB instrument panel resides in the collection of one of our good friends in New Zealand.
According to its owner:
"Nothing known about this panel except the obvious -- that it is the rear seat panel from a Kranich training glider of the pre-WW2 Luftwaffe. The Kranich was a very successful training glider that survived in surprisingly large numbers with gliding clubs in Europe and the USA after WW2."
