For decades I wonder where this plate comes from. It was given to me by a schoolfriend long ago...
The letters are handpainted.
Any clues? :n66:

Hi Paul.
not much help but this could be British because of the word, undercarriage.
im not sure but i dont think the Americans used this term.

Roy

Hi Roy,
Yep that's what I was thinking too, otherwise it would be landing gear... ;)

Hi Paul.
Because of the high air speed in knots, could be possible this was a british jet.

Hi Martin,
Maybe it's from a Meteor !(?) :cool:

Hi Paul.
Iwas very tempted to put meteor,then I was thinking of the fifties and early sixties that this plate might come from.The other jets that spring to mind from that era are vampire,venmon,hunter,javlin and canberra.The other thing only the british would spend hours hand painting plates.

Martin,
As the Meteor and Hunter were part of the Dutch AF inventory (still can remember seeing them flying !), it could come from one of these....

Martin,
Just checked the Flight Limitations for the Mustang's Landing gear extension...not above 170 IAS.
Not much difference....

Hi Paul.
Hope you and your family had a good xmas,I still think it has to be british as Roy says undercarriage and not landing gear and I cannot see the Americans spending time and effort hand painting the plate.
I dont surpose the hand paint has been overpainted onto the plate?,and is there any markings on the back of the plate.What we want is some cockpit veiws of british jets as listed above or a veiw inside a mustang to look at there insturment plates.

Martin

Hi Martin,
Christmas was good thank you ! Hope you and yours had a good one too.
There's nothing on the back of the plate.
I wasn't thinking of a (RAF) Mustang but seen the IAS limitation maybe another piston driven RAF a/c?.....
Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul.
Well let us think this one through,Paul was there any single or multi piston engined aircraft that was british that entered service with the Dutch air force from late fifties to early sixties.Otherwise how did your friend aquire this plate.When I applyed to join the RAF as a apprentice in the early sixties to work on engines and airframes (failed to enter because failed my medical ),the only planes thatI can remember in the RAF school at Holton ,were piston provest or ansons and neither had that sort of take off speeds :n66: Will wait to here what you come up with.
regards

Martin,
After going through some books on the Royal Dutch Air Force I found these:
Harvard (1946-1968)
Oxford (1946-1952)
Anson (1946-1953)
Spitfire (1946-1954)
Meteor (1948-1959)
Hunter (1956-1968)

Guys, just a couple of thoughts i have on this.
if this was from an aircraft used by the Dutch Airforce, wouldnt it be written in Dutch?
Do aircraft usually have a plate with this type of information?. ive never seen one but that doesnt mean they didnt exist. i thought this was usually covered by the pilots notes?.
Do you think its possible this came from a captured German aircraft that no pilots notes were available for and thats why its hand written in English?
Cheers
Roy

Friends,
As all our pilots from those types got their training either in England or the USA/Canada the text on instrumentplates would stay in English as it is today.
Happy New Year !

Hi Guys.
Sorry not been able to come back as my monitor went down,and have just been able to beg an old one.Paul I would say from your list has to be hunter or meteor as the rest are to slow on take off speed,but only a cockpit veiw of these planes will confirm.
Anyway will wait for any other input,so may I take the time to wish everybody A HAPPY NEW YEAR and let it be better than last year.
best regards
Martin

Yesterday I received this answer from Andrew Broxholme:
'There is no way to be certain that it comes from a Meteor as we only have the airspeed values to go by. However for both the Meteor Mk7 & Meteor Mk3 the pilots notes state that undercarriage should not be lowered at above 175 knots or remain down above 195 knots which exactly match what the plate says.
You will be able to be more certain if you can determine what limits were set for other aircraft of the period, if they are different then by elimination you can be more sure.'

Hi Paul.
I think you may have nailed it, as the speeds are identical and once you can find a in cockpit veiw then that again will confirm.
