Hello, I’m searching for any cockpit photographs or illustrations for the Short’s Rangoon or Short’s Calcutta flying boats. By chance does any one have any? In particular I am interested in identifying the type of yoke used in such aircraft. Thankyou in advance of any help.

Thanks Dave, spotted that one too (the only one!) Just wondered if there were any more pictures out there.

There is a photo showing the parts of the Calcutta you are looking for on page 16 of Golden Age of Flying-Boats in the Aeroplane Collector’s Archive series currently available in shops e.g.: W H Smith
