Well here is a different quiz and an easy one to start you all off. First may I please ask a certain person, respectfully, to stay away and let the others have a go…I wont name him (BUT he knows who he is!!)
Basically, tell me as much about the cockpit (type, mark, tail no, location etc)
enjoy!
I promise that the next ones will be more difficult! :diablo:

Well done that man….photo taken Thursday…….
BTW as Mark12 said note the lead balance weight….this was added to reduce high control forces during high g manouevres. The Tempest and Typhoon had a lead weight on the base of the column to increase stick force per g. The spade grip weight was not an elegant solution at all!

OK – no problems then. I agree with Melv. Spitfire 24 at Southampton.
BTW> This was posted before I saw Melv’s photo 😀

I was getting the impression anyone called ‘Mark’ was banned from this quiz!

Control column top collectors.
Note the large lead mass damper at 6 o’clock on the spade grip.

Low back, Griffon Spitfire – perhaps the one that used to be at Cosford? MT847?

Late model Spitfire, probably a Mk.XIV? :confused:
