DESCRIPTION
The T Mk.5 and T Mk.55 Lightning aircraft had different sized ventral tanks, and as a consequence used different indicators. The indicator I have is the GE.21 for the larger tank of the T55 (scaled 0 to 5,600 lb), which will suffice for a T5 (scaled 0 to 2,200 lb) if when the simulated T5 ventral tank is full, the pointer will show a reduced position on the scale.
OTHER VERSIONS
The T Mk.5 used the type GE.36 indicator, I am yet to find the Stores Ref. No.
The T Mk.55 pre-mod 9014 used this type GE.21 (6A/9402) indicator, and post-mod 9014 used a type GE.40 (6A/11708).
