- The instrument panel feature for this lamp is of British origin, The basic six or six pack is a common British design which has been used in many of the RAF fleet since 1938. Many cockpits images of this panel can be found onboard the British Spitfire aircraft before 1950. The instruments are old and the Mach instrument indicates it was used in a turbojet powered aircraft. British turbojet of this time period would possibly be the Gloster Meteor. The Meteor was the first and only allied Jet fighter in service during WWII and also used in the beginning of the Korean War before 1952. The Meteor was a subsonic turbojet with a airspeed record of 616 MPH, this would be consistent with the airspeed instrument in this panel.
