Probably not – but will check and see what could be arranged as a one off visit. Leave it with me. Hugh
Hugh – Opening up the Comet would certainly make me do the 150 mile round trip to the aerojumble and fo doubt others would be tempted. (It would be the straw that breaks the camels back !!)
So fellow aerojumblers did anyone acquire any good buys or treasures?? Please do tell all !!

Good question re Anson yokes: Also to throw into the mix I believe that there were two different design type yokes for the Anson, I believe the MK1 was a different shape to the later marks.
Anymore ideas anyone? I assume that this is bare bones of the yoke having lost the plastic coat on the outside. It has that British look / feel to it and perhaps the residue green paint reinforces that it may have been from
a British aircraft ?
Does anyone have the other half to this? Good investment oppurtunity !!
I hope we aren’t going to need a separate sub-forum to list all the show cancellations this year.
I think we are heading this way……..it may be a case of which air shows are actually going to happen this year!

Will the Comet interior be open for inspection ?
Is it heavy? Looks similar to the yokes on a Link trainer, the centre hub hole is rather small and I guess such a small attachment would not with stand the forces encountered in a live flying aircraft. Link yokes were normally heavy and made from scrap melted metal where weight and quality wouldn’t be an issue on a static aircraft.
Not my picture but one I grabbed off the internet for a Link trainer yoke. Therefore credit to however took the picture. Hopefully you will see the similarities.
