Could you help me by identifying what these gauges are called? I would really appreciate it- The 2 to the left of the airspeed indicator, the small one to the left of the altimeter, and the one on the bottom left of that one, the one to the top right of the oil temp, and the one to the right of the oil temp. Also, I think the one under the boxed oil one is flap position but I'm not sure. I would really appreciate it.
Here's a link to the picture, just scroll down a little- http://home.earthlink.net/~firedog46/spitfire.html

Ok, here is what I could make out. Can't tell the 2 to the left of the airspeed. The small one to the left of the altimeter I believe is the elevator trim position. Not sure of the one to the bottom of that one. The one to the top right of the oil temp is the boost Gage. The one to the right of the oil temp is what I think is the water temp (in a picture I have seen elsewhere it is labeled "RAD *C" (degrees c)).
The above answerer was basically correct in some of his answers but the one to the right of the airspeed is a "turn and bank indicator" and the one to the right of that is a "vertical speed indicator" not an altimeter.
One of the other gages that you can see at the top right of the panel, just under the glareshield is the "Volts DC" Gage.
If I find any other pictures I will edit to let you know.

Directly to the left of the Airspeed is the Oxygen Supply.
Not sure about the one left of that.
Yes, as stated, left of the altimeter is the elevator trim.
Below that, see the following link.

The indicator is marked port and starboard for the two bottom needles, and at the top it looks like brakes, but I can't make it out. The middle needle is marked supply, could be brake pressure.

to the right of the two closely scrunched you have the air speed indicator. then the next one is the angle or slant of the wings. then below that there is a compass. back up one and to the right one there is the rate of climb/altimeter. then to the right again there is the rpm. below that the two ones in red are the oil pressure and fuel pressure i think. then the one in oarnge is the temperature gauge. that's all that i can see. hope i helped some. oh wait back to the wing slant indicator below and to the left next to the compass is the actual altimiter.
