Please could the Royal Air Force be abbreviated in capital letters thus: RAF?

I'm sure those that write it would do that but in the message by the OP the RAF is not mentioned.

P.S. I suspect Rosa can't spell ALTITUDE either!

Re Bruno,
He’s probably Portuguese and English may be his second or third language.

Smiths Industries was broken up in the late 1990s and early 2000s . Some went to Lucas Aerospace, some to Meggitt and some to GE Aviation.

There is a discussion regarding a similar piece of equipment here: RAF heading/reference system (https://www.pprune.org/military-aviation/610737-raf-aircraft-used-smiths-attitude-heading-reference-system.html)

P.P.S. I suspect Rosa CAN spell

I suspect "Attitude" Indicator is correct, as it is the current term for the gyro horizon or artificial horizon

Hi there - yes, that is my equipment. But (1) the part numbers do not match and (2) I still have not finally figured
out which part nos. my equipment matches... Best wishes, Erik.
