Wanted – Whitley control column/wheel

Sadly not David – I do have parts of the control column including remains of the wheel itself. I’m sure an intact one will turn up eventually – just a hunch.

Elliott,

Just a thought, why not sweet talk Dave Collins, Graham Adlam or Stuart Gowans to make you one? These 3 gents seem to be able to make almost anything 😀 Bex

Hi Bex

Thanks for the compliment 😮 but Elliott is right in saying how much a real one would be preferrable.

Incidentally Elliott, do the RAF Museum or the Science Museum collections have an example you could reference?

Thanks Bex

I have had lots of parts made already, however there is nothing like the real thing… 😉

just a thought…….

Grrrrrrr! 😀

…and the answer’s “NO”! :diablo:

Here’s a pic of the Whitley control column.

Anyone seen one or any parts?

Thanks

Can I suggest it might be a good idea to post a picture of the one you want?

It is perfectly possible that somebody has one in their possession, but fondly believes it’s off a Sopwith Camel or Comet 4b because that’s what they were mistakenly told years ago.

Good point Moggy. I will scan a pic in.

Elliott – Am pretty sure that Ken Ward has one, but it would have to be an outstanding swap (probably lanc based) for him to part with it!

Hi Ben – Ken doesn’t have one unfortunately – if only he did.
