    Ian, if you are interested in the 747 yoke contact me. Cannot resist one more quiz photo if it doesn’t bore too many people. can anyone guess this one? Only clue being that the aircraft is homegrown (to a certain extent!)

    Nick, rather than email you directly I’ll try and go through this on the forum in case others have the same problem in the future. My camera has issues so all photos are taken on my mobile telephone hence there may be quality issues or pictures upside down. The yoke cap is fixed on with a clip, after removing the cap you are presented with an outer retainer on the hub. Beyond this at the other end is the bottom of the hub which is affixed to the column by 4 bolts. This end where the bolt holes are located is 11mm thick, so logic says that this is also the depth of your bolt holes. Pictures attached hope it helps. The last two photos are taken from the rear of the yoke.

    Nick, I have a HS125 yoke which is detached. It’s currently in the attic, give me a couple of days and I will email some pictures directly to you.

    Its post war 50’s to 60’s, very difficult to pin it to a particular aircraft as it would be a standard fit. I’ve seen very similar on Percival Pembroke and Percival
    prince cockpits but no doubt fitted to many more types of aircraft.

    Ian, No unfortunately I did not win the picture but its the only full one I’ve ever seen of the Tudor. I too like the large Avro yokes and especially would like to get hold of a Tudor and Hermes I except the latter is not from the same stables but still the same ilk of early British passenger aircraft. The HP42 would be the absolute holy grail for me though!
    I hasten to add that I am always on the look out for early civilian airliner yokes and would happily swap some of my WWII yokes against them if anyone out there has any?

    To keep this thread running amongst the yoke buffs I thought of a quick quiz, can anyone guess this yoke type ?

    Thanks for letting us know, looking at the photos there seems to be a stall selling a few instrument panels etc. generally what are the prices like compared to our aerojumbles?
