the incivil beast's challenge

Now that I am sure is a naval aircraft and as you say I am also surprised that it has not come up before of which I am certain.

Neither Scimitar nor Sea Harrier, sorry
It comes from the other side of the pond actually, although it has served on this side

All those instruments! My dear! And you have to fly the thing as well!
AI radar, ILS, an all weather ship. The AH looks like one I sat behind, and the funny little letterbox instrument lights look like US, 1950's

I would go for the Crusader but I thought it had already been done.

Off thread but just this once....

Not wishing to intrude on this fascinating thread but realising the vast font of knowledge that it contains, can anyone identify the orange faced instrument [some weather/range/radar device?] and the lower left nav box? I have the squarepants yellow monitor ID'd already.
Happy Christmas all and thanks for many happy hours of cockpit musing.




The pic belongs to a friend who is grateful for any info. Which aircraft would be a bonus!
