Thank you i was extremely excited when i got it, i thought it was a nice thing before i knew. It could be swapped, but i would be after a Harrier GR3 set of Rudder pedals and a Seat Harness for it. If someone has any.:eagerness:

I’m not sure you need to comparing those two pictures. It was cheap for a Lightning box; its a bargain for TSR2!

Certainly looks right. I think you may have just scored something rather special!

Top tip: If you find a picture on eBay and it’s too small to make out detail, find the picture URL and change the last two numbers of the file name to “57” and it’ll show the picture at the original size it was uploaded as:

It’s definitely not a lightning one, the only match I have found is a TSR2 one. Having just looked at the pictures on google. What does anyone else think?

nothing like that Cees,
I looked at the image and it said Lightning F6 throttle box.

Hmm drawing beginning with 57 is Halifax.
Is it a big box with 2 x 4 large levers sticking out
And a row of 3 x levers lower down?
Pics could help.

Hi Everyone, I recently bought a throttle box but I’m not sure what it is off. It has the details as follows on it:
Serial number; VW41/1
Drawing number; 57139 Sht 3
It also has Mod numbers starting with; all m3029

Could it be off a TSR2?

Any help would be fantastic.
Thanks
Richard

A photo would obviously help.
