Hey all,
Just acquired this from the other side of the Pond and am trying to confirm A/C this would have been fitted to.
The gooseneck look ’51 but the torque tube appears to be a 3 piece with a central casting and the ends lockwired in place. And the stick remains are not ’51
Any ideas or confirmation of what it’s from gratefully received

As mentioned earlier very similar to Harvard – hows about T 28 trojan? – which would explain the paint colour which has a modern look to it.

Thanks for the input so far, but no confirmed ident. On looking at the stick assembly further I’ve noticed that each item has the letter ‘R’ cast in it….does this mean it could a ‘Republic’ item ?…over to you

Here it is:

It is a much bigger number.

On second thoughts, probably not given that one of the parts is 82001… too unlikely to be the first drawing on the aircraft?
I think Air Ministry has a Seamew item in his MORE TREASURES(?) FROM THE GARAGE… thread.

Curtiss SO3C Seamew? This is Curtiss model 82 and has part numbers beginning with 82.

While they look similar in style Harvard III ones have P/N’s that start with 88- with the similar goosenecks for the front and rear cockpits being 88-52105 and 88-52105-3 respectively but they are also plainer in their forming.
