Ian is correct, looks like it’s a DC-4, although the Douglas propliners DC4, DC6, DC7 and DC7B had the same yoke design, the control column heads slightly differed and this would appear to have the column head from a DC4. Could I ask what the inscription is (if any) on the bezel of the switch ?

Great pictures, very interesting, thanks for posting them, never knew that a Flamant was also abandoned there as well.

Lovely job Nick, great way to display them. What is the yoke behind the Albatross and also behind the BAE 146 ?

Sadly the video is deadly serious, filmed as proparganda to impress the populas in N Korea. The aircraft he is “flying” is an Antonov 148 similar to our BAE 146. Note a hidden pilot to his left side at 1.03 and my best bit is when he gives the pilot instructions at 1.24. It makes me weep with joy!

The best one is Kim Jong Un flying a plane on you tube, Link as follows:

It takes him one minute to read the aircraft manual and then he’s off!, hilarious!

Hi Martyn, I’m no expert on fighter / bomber grips so just highlighted it as described. I’ve dealt with this seller previously, she is fluent in English (probably has more English qualifications than me). If interested best bet is to ask her for any known provenance, she is also amenable to negotiate a price. Most of these Russian sellers come in at a really high price, hold your nerve and prices will eventually come down as the items get relisted, this particular seller being one of them, good spot on your part though!

I too am thinking very early Concorde column but not one which has flown such as prototype. In the early stages of Concorde development a number of wooden life size mockups were made including fuselages and cockpits which were show cased in exhibitions and various trade events around different countries. My best guess is that it is from one of these mockups, I have a similar yoke from the early Concorde programme and through browsing at photographs of these mockups it appears that the yoke design varied slightly albeit keeping the basic Concorde yoke shape depending on how detailed the design of the cockpit mock-up was. These photos can easily be found on Google, I have found one picture similar to your yoke, one reason why I asked for a photo of your column. Sorry but for some reason I am unable to attach photos to my threads.

Binrook 74, is it attached to a column underneath, if so can you provide a photograph of the rear and or side of the column, sometimes a picture of the column can help narrow down the identity of a yoke. Certainly a British designed yoke.

Mirage instruments and panels are often advertised (wants as well as for sale) on this French aviation web site, probably your best chance.

Thanks Nick for the history behind the Temco Swift tail, interesting story and a nice sentimental item to have.

First time I’ve seen one of these for sale, a grip from a TU-160 Blackjack, yours for a kings ransom.
