India Four Two,

The box on top of the panel is a FLARM. Developed in Switzerland, it is a kind of 'poor mans' TCAS. The FLARM units all broadcast to each other and a display on the box indicates when one is getting too close and where it is relative to yourself. Often mandated for glider competitions in this part of the world.

'866

Edited to correct country of origin and apologise to India Four Two for having a blonde moment and missing the fact it was a clue. Think I've had too much sun!
