Messerschmitt Me-410 Hornisse - Missing Instruments.

[Rodd1951]

Hi All,

I need help again please, this time its with the Messerschmitt Me-410. Hornisse.

We are doing a catch up to fill in some of the holes in Instrument panels etc. where the gauges have been removed for radiological/radiation issues.

In the Pilots cockpit I know the Magnetic Compass was held in a standard type mount against the canopy rail on the Right Hand side (Picture 1) but, what was in the very similar folding mount on the Left hand side but a bit further back? (See Pictures 2 and 3).

In the 'Gunners' cockpit what was in the square mount down on the right near the oxygen regulator ? (See Picture 4). The hole is 58mm in diameter.

All help and advice gratefully received and of course if any one has the relevant diagrams etc from the original manual ( 'Bedienungsvorschrift')!!

Many Thanks

Rodd

ps Finally for a bit of Christmas fun can you spot what is wrong with the gauges in Picture 5? It will be changed

You mean the Smith's "Made in England" oil gauge?

MAINLY28s - You've got it, and the first reply Fitted in RAF St. Athans when they did the engine run's back in the 1980's.

mjfur -

Thank you for the links, I will follow up on the Luftfahrt-Archiv they may have just what I need.

Thank you also for the photo of the NASM 410. Fascinating, as it has a very different layout with that full instrument panel in front of the stick which reduces the forward / downward view for the pilot.

Regards
Rodd

AND only the US does not know how to spell Litre

 

[SaparotRob]

We do know how to spell harbor, though.

 

[MiTasol]

Not really as in every other English speaking language it has a U

 

[SaparotRob]

They're wrong.

The French always seem to have a lot of leftover consonants in their words which they place at the ends and make them silent to avoid confusion.

Hi Woodhaven,

Many Thanks for the information and also for the extra set of photos/diagrams to better explain it to me I am very grateful for those.

Best regards

Did we resolve what goes in the folding part on the left side? I'm curious too but it looks like maybe a clock.

 

[Rodd1951]

Hi Crimea River,

Yes, as I see it in this photo from Woodhaven its defo the clock.

The hinge would allow you to fold it down to easily, pop the back off and regulate it.

Otherwise I presume winding etc is done with the knurled knob on the front (see photos I found on the 'Uhrerbe' site).

Regards
Rodd

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks for that. Mystery solved.

 

[Rodd1951]

Yes for me also.

I can no go over to the stores and 'hopefully' find them and refit them to the aircraft.
