Thanks windriver, I thought it might have been December . Merry Christamas to you and all the followers of this thread.
Here is one for those who get fed up with Turkey and Christmas Pud.

Aviate.
To second XH175's TANS, the aircraft is fitted with a Decca 72 doppler radar Ground Speed & Drift Meter (the instrument with the two coloured fault indicators next to the ADI). The large orange square is a Weather Radar Indicator - looks a lot like an old Bendix. TANS was a peculiarly Navy unit although the only one I ever installed was on an RAE 1-11 - which is borne out by the "NAVY" call sign on the NAV's desk. My guess would be either Sea King or possibly a Tracker (probably 70's vintage - don't think TANS was available until then).

Merry Xmas to all.
Mel's challenge is a Mraz-Benes 550 light aeroplane.
Some further info on aviate's query. The panel looks like a training console out of the Navy Jetstream T2 aircraft. The orange weather radar was a commonly used type on many British aircraft, and was an Ecko brand I believe.
