Need Help Identifying What Plane This Indicator/Gauge Is From.
I had this gauge gifted to me and I have been scouring the internet trying to figure our which plane it is from. When I was given it I was told is was a bank indicator, however, from the research I have done I think it is a yaw indicator instead. The only other thing that I know is that it was created by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). Any help is appreciated.
