Tony, are you kidding?

Of course it is of interest. Bomber Command and Handley Page = Cees reacting.

I think this is just the instrument panel of a Hampden, because no structural details can be seen such as canopy framing etc.

I once saw a photograph of a display case taken at Hendon in the seventies (I think) showing an instrument panel of a Hampden.

I haven't seen it myself in the flesh and always wondered where it was. Perhaps this is the one now at East Kirkby.

The cockpit section they so politely gave to Canada didn't have a instrument panel as far as I know.

Hope this helps
