'Real' Aircraft Instrument Coasters

There are plenty of replica aircraft instrument coasters available, but we aren't aware of any that are made from genuine aircraft instruments.

We have produced a couple of instrument coasters, the first being an airspeed indicator from an Avro Vulcan. The second version is a Century 1 combined autopilot / turn and slip instrument removed from a Robin DR400 and is complete with functioning slip ball.

Both instruments were stripped and shortened to the minimum depth, and are finished with a high gloss genuine carbon fibre baseplate - see photos below.
