Instrument Panel, Unknown Aircraft, Guadalcanal
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 aircraft which used this instrument panel has yet to be identified. It resides in the collection of one of our good friends in New Zealand.
According to its owner:
"I collected it at Henderson Field, Guadalcanal, in 1963 along with several similar panels. As it came from a combat area, it is not a one-off or experimental panel. None of the panels had any part numbers or inspection stamps. The best clue may be the reference to NACELLE UP DOWN, which may indicate the aircraft had ASH (AN/APS-4) radar. Proof of which aircraft these panels were designed for would be most welcome, as would pictures of the correct instrument fit for them."
