Any idea what aircraft this gauge is from ??

Just bought this gauge for a few quid to maybe mount in wood and make a nice feature with it etc. Integral Fuel Flowmeter 6A/3830/1. Any ideas what it's from people ???

Thanks

British gauge. Could have been used in any number if aircraft.

Typically when fuel is measured in Pounds(LB) it is for turbine powered aircraft.

Highly unlikely from a WWII aircraft, judging from its data label.

A possible use would be in air to air fuel transfer, both aircraft, tanker and receiving plane, measure the transfer, which should be kept constant; if the pressure (flow rate) goes too high there is the risk of fuel ejection, and potential for ignition. I am looking through my Delta bomber manuals to see if there is an illustration or part spec to match this gauge.

The Broad Arrow appeared in 1944, replacing the "A Crown M" Air Ministry mark when the Ministry of Defence was created to oversee the armed forces of Great Britain.
