Hi,
I am trying to get these two Spade grips identified as to which aircraft they were from.
Both have the AH 2040 stamping, but would appreciate any thoughts, as they are not standard
Thanks

Apologies juggle5, I should have added that the Harvard would most likely be one of the Canadian variants. My money would be on a post-war mod.

Thanks, I collected WW2 German aviation items in the 1970s, sold off the collection a while ago, but kept a nice ME109 stick.
I thought it would be nice to get a Spitfire or Hurricane yoke to display next to it, trying to be impartial….
I was also wondering when and to which planes they modified the firing button from pneumatic to electrical?

There was some discussion about this grip on the forum a long time ago but good luck in finding it! I think the majority conclusion was that it is from a Harvard, but not sure exactly which variant/modification.

Welcome to the forum, May be good to introduce yourself as its your first post.Hurricane I believe, but best to await the educated to come along.
Unfortunate they have been messed with. Will hit the value hard.
FKA TA out
