The Lanc’s are 2 1/2″ diameter, the one on the Typhoon & Tempest is 2″.
But as others have indicated, they are quite a common sight.
Isn’t there a pun here about Hobson’s choice?
Thanks Alan.
Between us all, we really ought to get out more!
It’ll be Typhoon or Tempest then.
I love the Hobson’s choice pun!!:D

Don’t think it’s Typhoon/Tempest looking at my reference photos, one of which is below:

A friction nut would be a standard piece of any aircraft so there is no real reason why they should differ from type to type really. Supplying those could have been keeping a couple of manufacturers busy all through the war.

Looks like the majority of RAF WW2 types then…..!!

Or any Anson MkI to T.22 excluding MkII.
Not sure about the Manchester, best check

Thanks Peter. Looks similar.
Wonder what I have found, then?

Similar? Or the same?
Thanks Tony!
By: Rocketeer - 30th March 2009 at 14:45
similar to that on a Tempest or Tyffie throttle box
By: Arabella-Cox - 30th March 2009 at 14:24
Possibly…..?
Hopefully someone will know for sure!
