Anatomy of the Spitfire Cockpit
The blind flying instrument panel provided the six crucial instrument in the standardised layout. In the top row, left-to-right are: the airspeed indicator, artificial horizon, rate of climb indicator. In the lower row, same order: altimeter, gyro compass followed by turn & bank indicator, the latter partially obliterated by the control column.
The airspeed indicator of this aircraft is calibrated in knots, a deviation from the standard RAF practice at the time which called for calibration in MPH (1 knot = 1.151 MPH). The altimeter is rated in feet.
