QUESTION: DOES the Warpaint Venom book have a good photo of the Sea Venom Instrument panel??

Which one?

You have the FAW.20 that's different to all the others

The FAW 21 pre and post ejection seat

 

FAW 22 and the FAW.53 again both pre and post bang seat.

Lots of difference between them

Here's what I was able to find; note the regular and bang seat photos. I can't vouch for the accuracy of any  of these, you know the caveat about most restored examples, but Steve @NAVY870 has a slight fondness (Some might call it an obsession!)  for the jet and has restored  a Sea Venom instrument panel, so he would be the go-to guy, I would think. Not sure what variant some of these photos depict, nor do I know if they are captioned correctly, so be careful! Hope these links will be helpful.

Steve,

Canberra kids second post is for the post ejection seat mod FAW.21
