Here is my Mk1 control wheel!:)
The MK1 control wheel also had a centre cap ,i have one on my control wheel.
I would concur with MR.1/T.4 by the shape which is more Lancaster like than the later variants.
The only version that seems to have a centre cap as such is the MR/AEW.2 which had a domed plain cover.
My favourite is the MR.3 captains wheel which has a yoke within a yoke for the nosewheel steering.
Brings back memories!!!!;)
Any Fairey Firefly covers would be good!:)
Is this the same unit that was on display at the Tangmere museum about ten years ago?
Contra-rotating unit from the front of a Python engine, minus propeller blades. Just under five feet in length and weighing around a third of a ton, its said to of come from VZ795 and was acquired with the help of Mike Eastman.
From left to right it consists of propeller pitch piston and cylinder – front propeller hub – translation bearing – rear propeller hub – propeller brake housing – drive shafts and oil tube. The oil tube running through the centre of the drive shafts supplied oil to the pitch piston, to simultaneously change the pitch of both sets of propellers via the operating links and translation bearing.

Not Glider wheels.
I would say that the wheels are AH10245 – Barracuda, Firebrand, Firefly Mk 1 main wheel.
AH7062 is the wheel casting number.
