Part ID request

Hi,

I have control quadrant that I cannot identify.
As you can see it is for a twin and as it has a control for an arrestor hook it may be easier to identify.

Thanks

Thank you both for your identification of the quadrant.

Now I wonder if anyone needs it, I personally have no use for it.

Thanks again 🙂

I think Alan is right, it’s clearly an overhead panel and it seems to match up to the Grumman S-2.

And here is a link to another S-2 overhead that’s partially stripped, but the throttle quadrant is intact and you can see the Aero data plate and red gust lock handle hidden behind the throttles.

It looks very like a Grumman S-2 throttle quadrant, even if the photos that are out there are not that great. Either way you are looking for a US built aircraft, twin piston engines, naval and seeming post WW2.
