Instrument panel for a Vickers plane. Photo caption: Made from Bakelite polyester resins reinforced with glass-fibre materials, this instrument panel housing for the Vickers Vanguard is an excellent example of the complex shapes now being fabricated in these materials. Under test, this component has shown itself superior to others produced in conventional materials. This item is part of the MoDiP BXL collection.
