A Piece Of Ww2 Aviation History
19 Answers
Hi folks. I wasn't sure where to put this, but that aside...
Is anyone here specifically familiar with instruments from WW2 aircraft?
It's the fuel gauge from a British WW2 aircraft. I'm pretty sure it's from a bomber as it indicates a "tank number two" capacity of 580 gallons. The nearest match I can find by extensive Googling is from an Avro Lincoln. My one is on the left, the one on the right is from a Lincoln.
What I want to know of course is what aircraft it is most likely to have come from.
TIA
