Classic radiator temperature gauge with capillary. I have tested this instrument and it is working. Its a slightly out of focus picture but is a nice clean gauge. Quite a long capillary so probably for twin engine aircraft, possibly Mosquito or something similar.

API is an air position indicator.  You set the North and East as the aircraft’s initial position or from a fix point.  The True Course is the aircrafts magnetic heading offset using the VSC – variation setting control – to get a True Heading or True Course.  A feed is the aircraft’s airspeed corrected for temperature and height.  This then gives a position of where the aircraft would be assuming no wind.  As there is usually wind the position is its air position. Comparing the given air position with an updated fix we can calculate the wind over the previous period.

This instrument has one cracked lug see picture. This will not affect its appearance when mounted in a panel.

Cannon Round Counter (pg9 ins)

click on the picture's left to enlarge

Here's a super rare wartime item. It's a counter for the 20 mm cannon. These were needed due to the very limited supply of ammunition that the aeroplanes were able to carry. Some form of guide as to how much had been expended was therefore necessary. This instrument is in superb, original condition.
