Grips like Spitfire but with Bombs & RP?

ID on these? In an Australian collection so thought to be more likely an RAAF or RAN type.

Hi Nicko,

That ‘bracket’ is actually a weight, I have only ever seen it fitted on Firefly handles? 

For your info, the Sea Fury also uses the Dunlop Mk2 ring handle like the Gannet too.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I think the Gannet one is the AH.8400 family.

There are some good Firefly AS.6 photos here…

… although that one has a rather ugly bracket fitted over the grip.

Even if it is Firefly, here is a Gannet column:-Gannet Column

Thanks AM. Quite possibly – will look in to that further. We looked at some of the FAA aircraft but I think we paid more attention to the Sea Fury.

I would think Firefly is the obvious candidate?

Afraid not; couldn’t find any on the grips or the columns.
