Would no doubt have been airline specific but in addition to the VORs, DME,s ADFs, I'd expect to find Doppler and Loran (the old style with a small green cathode ray, oscilloscope-like device)

The lack of an astrodome does not preclude astro/celestial as there would have been a sextant aperture.

I believe they had a Smiths flight system linked to a Smiths autopilot.

Hope that helps.

p.s. Have you had a look in the one at Duxford?
