Concorde First Officer's Instruments
Left you can see the First Officers instruments on
G-BOAC.
Some of the First Officer's instruments were duplicated on the Pilots side, the nose control switch and indications, landing gear indication and Icovol are classed as part of this section and were not duplicated on the Pilots side but were accessible for the pilot.
Some other subtle differences can be seen and where possible these will be indicated.

Indicator - Dual. DME, Clifton
The digitaL dual. DME indicator contains two separate identical display modules ; one is supplied by DME interrogator 1 and the other by DME interrogator 2. Each display module consists of four tubes, each with a seven segment incandescent display. Each tube can display numbers from one to nine and a horizontal bar, or dash. The indicators display hundreds, tens, units and tenths from 000,0 to 399.9 NM.

* Note; Changes to layout During Service for TCAS
The installation of the TCAS system brought about some changes in the layout of the instruments in Concorde, Originally both the pilot and first officer had Temperature indicators on their display panels. The TCAS system took up valuable space on each side of the cockpit so to resolve the issue TCAS was installed where the clock was, the clock was moved down to the next position and replaced the Temperature indicator and the temperature indicator was moved to the center console.
Before TCAS installation
After TCAS installation
Temperature indicator added to center console
