Thanks for posting. Would be interested to to thumb through a copy, especially the stick and yoke pages!

Hi Ian,
In this 2015 edition there were about 6-7 different grips /sticks and 2 yokes covered. They were listed under the aircraft parts section amongst other items such as compasses, switches, etc. None the less an interesting all round book. Bought my copy on eBay via a book dealer £14.99 + free postage

We must remember that the family are selling the medals to help save lives, therefore very noble of them to forefit their ancestors medals to help others now and in the future.

It’s a very noble thing to do to remortgage your house to save someone else’s collection. I hope things work out well for him and the project. Wonder if Mr Wards cockpits are also going to the museum to be displayed?

No surprises, begin any advert with the following words of “Lego” “Spitfire” “Coca Cola” “Lancaster” “Titanic” or “Vulcan” and watch the £££££’s role in. It’s known in the industry as the “Midas touch” !

This site seems to have a few aircraft grips and lots of F4 instrument panels for sale. Quite expensive but posted for window shopping experience only.

The commentator states that this was the last flight of an all British built 4 engined jet aircraft. Isn’t the Avro 146 still actively flying especially from London City airport?

In fact if you look at the restoration pictures of the Swiss Vickers Viking (save-a-Viking) you will see the restored yokes, link as follows:

Hi a Great thread enjoyed from the start to finish and great to see the log books reunited with there former owner..
also some fantastic photos and stories..

I just purchased this control yoke from a Vickers aircraft ++Photos below ++. thanks to some informative forum members i have identified it as being from a Valetta or Viking but struggling to pinpoint. although i have seen a few photos similar to mine with the yoke less thew brake levers on a viking aircraft, would anyone know whether the levers were standard to the Viking or Valetta? also any ideas on aircraft or mark.
Many thanks Hawker 1966..

The Viking yoke although very similar had a bulbous end. I have one in my loft and will double check for you when next up there.

Hawker 1966, I would go with Vickers Valetta (minus brake levers), the PTT switches are all standard fits to many British yokes of this period as Ian has pointed out. You will find that normally each manufacturer will keep the generic design outline of their yokes the same. For example Vickers, Douglas, Boeing, Lockheed etc although their yokes evolved through the years the basic pattern outline remained the same to a certain extent. Therefore picking up a yoke most times you can get a general idea which stable it came from even though you don’t know which particular aircraft it may have originated from.

All I can find in my ref book of anything similar is:
Y.44979 6A/622 = Oxford (Yes listed as a’ Y’)
Y.44978 6A/651 = Blenheim
Your exact gauge number was not listed.
