Could those who understand the RAF AP classification system ("scriblies"?) tell us if AP2024A could refer to a different mark of the Vengeance to AP2024D, or would the latter be the same Mark as the 2024A pub but merely a different edition of the PN's for the MarkIV? It might be that both pilots notes (Avalogs and 682al's) are for the A35 version, hence the cockpit illustrations differing from Danny's Mk's I, II, and III.

In addition I suspect that there would be a waiver printed somewhere along the lines that "not all equipment illustrated is fitted in all aircraft". As Danny says, the SW Comms set illustrated would presumably be for use by a trained WOp (and I suspect require the antennae rigged from the wing tips to the radio mast seen on some of the IAF videos).

Of course, if Sir really only wants one slip indicator on his instrument panel then we can accommodate him, but our slogan at Scruggs Aviation is always that "Two Balls are better than one".
