Yesterday, my cousin gave me this rudder trim control. Her father (my uncle) was in the RAF in WW2 and would have picked up this piece then. I know that he worked on the Wellington and the Mosquito, but I am unable to identify the aircraft that this rudder trim came from.
The base shows the numbers 3-A975 and also 3 CJ5. The shaft has CK7 on it.
Does anyone know please?

Thanks Ian
I thought that it probably was off a Wellington, but when I looked at the pilots notes I couldn’t find something similar. Do you or anyone have any pictures perhaps?

The rudder trim is definitely off a Wellington, got one in bits at home and it looks like your photo.
