Very Possibly a Barkley Grow T8P1. AHRC = American Hard Rubber Company.

The centre key lock looks a bit small though, wonder if it was ever fitted to a actual aircraft ?

Nice work Nick, similar to the Beverley yoke you could almost image yourself being behind a set of motorcycle handlebars!
Wow! Obviously similar to the Concorde prices. Now I understand why you want to make your own one. Thanks for the information.
A difficult tasks indeed, Good luck! It certainly is a odd design of a yoke. I’ve never seen one for sale, out of interest what is the market price for such a yoke on the rare occasion when one does become available?
For those who haven’t seen the TU-144 yoke a picture is linked below:

Great work there visotka1 on the TU-16 yoke, nice addition to your collection. Would love to have seen one of these aircraft for real.
Post #1899 – Wow $362 for the B52 centre cap!!
Lovely D.H. Dove column
If the seller has no provenance it could even have come from a D.H Heron

Mystery yoke identification time folks, any ideas as to what this yoke could be from? I would say 1940’s design but what aircraft was it from? The similar shaped yokes which have been considered and discounted have been AW Albermale, AW Apollo steering tiler, AW Atalanta, Hamilcar Glider. Note that the angle of the arms on this yoke are a lot sharper which has helped elimate this yoke from the above mentioned aircraft in addition to the number of finger grooves. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Great, thanks for this! Pictures speak a thousand words!
I believe that some of the British Airways pilots transferred over to the RAF to fly the Tristars.
