The next book, Air Min?
Hmmm, the thought has crossed my mind.
An interesting exercise would be to create a spreadsheet listing all UK types which had a Dunlop control stick/spade grip, subdivided into each Mark (e.g. fighter/fighter bomber/fighter reconnaisance/trainer variants, etc).
Then, apply the known stick numbers to each one and let’s see what’s missing.
If the gaps aren’t too great (after more research), then maybe there is the basis of another Volume with photos and line drawings of course (which I have already done in many cases).
Mind you, then there’s also the many export versions, any of which (I assume) may have had a different stick with funny writing on it…:(

If you after civilian part numbers, (AGS, SP etc) then I can recommend the Brown Brothers Book.
There was a couple on Amazon last time I looked.

I don’t think a list has ever been published.
I’ve built up a fair amount of info on spade grips and gun buttons (AH), stick grips (AH and AC), wheels, tyres and inner tubes (AH), (some) gun firing gear but virtually nothing on brake components.
It would be a long and invaluable list!

Has anyone ever published a list of the Dunlop AH numbers – or at least, the known ones?
Is it me, or is it just that it seems this information (if it is out there!) is jealously guarded?

In the absence of a lead on Pete Rushen’s book (which I’ve never come across) is this the type of info you are seeking?
