Boarded a Swiss DC-9 and a Dan Air 727 through the rear stairs sometime in the early 90’s. Makes perfect sense if you are seated to the rear of the aircraft and saved lengthy waits in the aisle whilst people mess around with their bags in the overhead lockers. No doubt also any opportunity to air the aircraft out when smoking was permitted in the rear rows. I always remember the cigarette haze at the back of aircraft (talking about the 70’s here). Anyone visiting Brooklands air museum can get a similar experience to see what it was like boarding an aircraft through the tail as it is the only way to access their BAC 1-11.

How many stalls do you already have booked in, out of interest?

I always feel sorry for this event, seems to have a bad run on the weather, tomorrow is 50/50 for rain, none the less it can be an enjoyable event if the weather behaves itself. Some nice finds can be had from time to time, happy hunting for those attending tomorrow~

Yes depending on the weather!

thanks for the heads up, out of interest how many other stalls are there selling aerobillia items ?

Strange goings on…

Sorry the well spotted should be for this particular quote !

Hello Martynp, I don’t think it’s aviation related due to it being pretty basic and crude unless it was produced as a training aid, that’s just a guess on my part. What I can shed light on however is it’s recent origins. I have seen this wheel for sale (or at least very similar) some years back on a French aviation web site. It was described as an unidentified wheel similar in design to the Junker 52 and sold for a couple of hundred euros. The link below shows the company’s previous sales, scroll through the thumbnail pictures towards the bottom of the page and you will see your yoke next to the Trident yoke. Click again on the thumb nail of your yoke and you will see the description. Hope at least this provides some information for you. By the way this site is pretty good and they do get some nice yokes and grips from time to time , I’ve purchased from them in the past with no problems
