Hello everyone

Sorry to gatecrash... This one is very difficult and I would be very grateful for any expert knowledge. I picked this instrument panel up at Shoreham aerojumble in the UK at the weekend. Originally it apparently had a full set of British WWI instruments. These are long gone, but I would like to know which aircraft the panel originated from.

Can anyone ID it?

The panel is fairly large - approx 50 cm.

Thank you!!

Elliott

Certainly not from a Camel, Snipe, SE5, Avro 504K or Gunbus. Looks a bit sparse for a WWI Fighter perhaps it is from DH Moth.

Are we looking at an Aircraft from the European side of the atlantic. Maybe a Klemm KI 32?

Mel,

European side, yes. This aircraft came much later than the Kl-32.

YAK 10 or YAK 12 but I think I may have gone too far east?

Good call on the era and location, though it isn't a Yak.

Bigger than UTKA. We had the manufacturer in this quiz before, but it's not Mig.

Possibly an early Antonov AN2 or Polikarpov U-2 Po-2?

Right size with the An-2, but this one isn't a biplane.

I am really lost here now, I suggest the UTVA Cijan C3 Troika but I do not think it is as big as the AN2.

Sorry, this one was Russian (Utva/Cijan were Yugoslav I think). Not Antonov or Polikarpov.

I think I am going to get my feet wet here and propose the Beriev MBR-5 or -7.

Not a MBR-5 or 7, but you are nearly there.

Perhaps I should have gone for the civil Beriev MP-1bis.

A Beriev it is, though it came later than the MP-1.
