Brass Gun button

I’ve got the back of one, attached to Blenheim yoke. If it was you splashing the cash on ebay presumably that’s what you have as well. Can I go second in the queue? Would like a brake paddle to….

You have a Blenheim control wheel Tony?

Might have Darrell:) I sent you an email to your usual address about an unrelated matter…cheers

Yup……..PM me and I’ll sent you a picture of the component you sold me 5 yrs. ago.

pm sent old chap!! See, one should never get rid of anything!!!

Oh -now got to find me bleedin’ camera !!
………..Eh – PM received and picture sent with reply
Cheers,
Clive

cheers old chap!

Heres my Blenheim one guys although probally not in as goo a condition as yours sound.:)

Thanks for that. The distortion and the way it snapped off really make you think. Mine is also supposed to have come from a crash ‘somewhere in Wales’ and does show some impact damage. There are only a couple of high ground Blenheims in Wales but most seem to have hit too hard for this to have survived. Coulsd well be from a scrapped aircraft A bit of a mystery.

Interesting grip you have there. It looks like it came out of the ground. Any history?

I purchased it and a few other items a few years ago from a guy who found it on the mull of kintyre in the early 60,s.It is from Blenheim z6350 which ran short of fuel during a training flight December 21st 1941 tried to break from cloud to make an emergency landing and hit a hillside killing all crew.

You lucky git i really love that its very very nice!!!!

fantastic old chap….bet its got a great history though?

will posta pic of mine…….I took the gun button off my Boly yoke and popped it on this one as it is pure Blenheim.

The damned things are everywhere. Here’s some of ours!:)

Very nice. They’re not as rare as people say! Is the mushroom headed pin a brake lock? Your brake is opposite handed to mine. Has there been a dedicated yokes and stick tops thread? It’s been a while since you did your quiz Tony.

sounds a good idea Ian

Would this photo help with the mushroom headed pin mechanism ????

Absolutely.Thanks for posting. Is it a brake lock and is it remanufactured pin? Beau? The gun button looks interesting. Is it the same pattern as fitted to Mosquitos, saw a photo of one once and didn’t understand. So many questions.

ian. I cannot answer your questions, must leave that to the very knowledgeable people who frequent this forum ! I only provide some photos, this one from the supurb rebuild at Duxford.
