The TSR/2 anniversary event sounds good, what sort of pieces will be on display?

Thanks Miclittle, it did indeed originate from Canada so I guess your information is spot on. By chance do you which marks had brake levers installed? Thankyou

Okay rather than email I will post here for reference for others. In addition to the above I also have:

The aircraft cockpit by L.F.E Coombs

Control in the sky evolution and history of aircraft cockpit L.F.E Coombs

At the Controls a Smithsonian National Air Space Museum book of cockpits by Tom Alison and Dana Bell

In the cockpit book 1 Inside 50 history making aircraft Smithsonian by Dana Bell

In the cockpit book 2 World War 2 aircraft Smithsonian National Air Space Museum by Roger Connor and Christopher Moore.

The last 3 books are very similar in format to Donald Nijboer books on cockpits whereby each page has detailed colour photographs of various types of cockpits. All these books are available from the publisher, Amazon or ebay.

Thanks for the information Ian, never knew that there was a left and right brake lever denoting either Beaufort or Blenheim. Obviously this is a right therefore Blenheim? When I refer to Air Ministrys green reference book on grips and firing gear ( which I am sure you will have ) on page 44 are pictures of the Beaufort and Bolingbroke yokes which have the brake levers to the left ( location of gun buttons however differ) Page 89 then has Beaufighter yokes from Mk’s I and II and V and VI and X with brake levers to the right. This has left me a little confused perhaps I haven’t read the section properly? Any clarification?

After the Govt spent billions of pounds on the Nimrod MR4 project in order to protect our shores from the Warsaw pact, what do I come across on a Polish web site but this NOS MR4 yoke. Amazing how bits and pieces turn up in unexpected places. Now safely back on our shores. I had to look twice at this yoke, looks very much like a computer arcade yoke different from the conventional Comet type design.

Be careful when buying or selling these instruments over the internet as due to the security issues we face in the world today parcels are being scanned, any parcel identified with potentially radio active material is being halted from further progression. I seem to remember looking at the post offices prohibited articles leaflet and aircraft instruments with radium dials are mentioned. Can be a costly experience as WWII instruments tend not to be cheap!
