Question RAF aircraft used Smiths Attitude/Heading Reference system?

Hi and sorry, if my question is off-topic or to technical: Anyone here knows whether
any RAF aircraft of the 1970ties and 80ties used an analog attitude heading reference system?

It is not from Tornado and probably not Harrier (used INAS and later digital systems) and
not Jaguar (NAVWASS and later FIN1064).

The reason for the question is, that I am interested in vintage UK made avionics and
I am maintaining some navigation equipment from this era. Recently I acquired a test
set from Smiths Industries (dated 1987 and last caled until 2001, RefNo 6C/6641376)
and I'd like to know which equipment this was used on:



The test set obviously plugs between the LRU (or LURs) and the displays and can either
simulate the LRUs and/or genrate stimuli to the LRUs:



Any hints are welcome and would help to preserve and/or reactivate this equipment. If interested
in my other activites, look at
and Tornado-PEC-Page

Thanks, Erik.
