Hey Cees.
Probably against all common sense but I was able to back date the gear indicator to a Halifax by removing the black paint over the top bar of the T and removing the paint for the right side of the N

Good work Peter, AFAIK the undercarriage indicator of the Halifax and the Hunter are similar apart from the T (tail) or N (nose).

Meteor panels
Enclosed are a few more pictures of some panels in my collection, the first two are front and rear Meteor T7 instrument panels. Since taking this photo the missing rate of climb instrument has now been attached to the front panel.

Can you please keep an eye out for the same type of suction changeover unit that I need for my panel?

Peter,
These things are extremely rare. Mine came from Australia and was fitted in a Beaufighter originally. If I ever come across another one I would snap it up immediately as it is very much sought after.

I know, I know its Benyboy with his egg beater pannel again. So I left the Buchon wing pannel in the back ground just to sneak me into `historic`. Now I have finally recieved the pannel I can post a pic of it the right way round. Still looking for confirmation its a Squirrel and looking for instruments. Tryd all the usual places, Aerobits ect.
