    Do you know what planes they are from.

    The Revi C/12D was used in all of the Me 109 variants up to the G model. They were also used in the FW 190 series up to the A12 I believe. The Revi 16B was introduced in 1943 and was an updated version of the C/12 and gradually replaced the older model. The manifold pressure gauge is from a Ta-152 and the stick is from either a Me109 or a FW190.

    Hi Steve,

    Yeah I thought so too! I have started cleaning them up and hope to have them operational by the end of next week. He also brought in this clock from a crashed Me 109 and what's cool is the guy who salvaged had teh good sense to keep th aircraft data plate from the instrument panel!


    Cheers

    I dont want to rain on your parade,but the the clock
    FL 23888 BoUk3 is not a Bf109 clock,BF109 E through K
    only used FL-23885 BoUk1 J-30BZ fitted with the
    chronograph function at the 6 oclock position.
    Your clock is listed as a blind flying clock,and I must say
    I cannot find exactly what it did fit! A nice item none the less.
    Regards Mike

    PS..the french tacho is a gem!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Mike,

    No rain at all! I had found that fact out from another forum, I just hadn't had the time to update here. I do however have the proper clock as well. This clock may be a watch officers clock. I am still researching it. The proper clock appears to be inoperative which would make sense based on the purported fate of the aircraft.

    I will keep you all posted!

    Here are the promised pictures. The actual clock doesn't work so what I think happened was they found another clock that did and married the data plate to the functioning clock. Unfortunately we will never really know!

    Anyway, here's the other clock.
