Paul,

Here's a (composite) pic of the Sopwith Pup kept at the Shuttleworth Collection, England. I should say I don't know if this is an authentic 1916 layout though. Could be post-war.

The rev counter is on left, then compass, below that a turn & slip indicator, then ASI and altimeter on the right. I presume the brass cylinder on the right wall is the fuel pressure pump. I wonder if the button on the joystick is a gun trigger or the blip switch?



I like the way none of the dials read in the same sense as each other!

Regards,

Vig.
