Cheers…..I dont think its any of those….it is on a ring gun sight I bought. Which is ‘skewed’ to allow for perpendicular viewing. It looks like the Blenheim sight to me. Not sure why the part number woiuld start with 87!

I would love to help but 1. I am miles away and 2. I would be worried leaving my cockpit out for so long

anything of interest/WHY would be nice Martyn!

Ian, I have just bought one of those quiz items old chap! So it would be unfair for me to identify it! Suffice to say, they have a nioce plate on them! Where did you get yours?

Paul, nice Mig29 stick…..I had the one from the ‘burner’ Mig29 that came down at Fairford in my hands – could not persuade the chap to part with it! Mores the pity.

Chits old chap….Freud would rightly deduce that I am MMMMMMMMM..MMM…mad sir and ‘we have lumps of it round the back!’

Interesting question. Some is likley tradition and some engineering. The lineage of UK columns being like that goes back – but then again, some are poles to the floor as it were (BD Defiant, Whirly etc).
The engineering bit comes about from not wanting mechanical cross coupling between the control axes – i.e. don’t want an inadvertent/sympathetic lateral/roll control input when making a longitudinal/pich input an vice versa.

Thought you were gonna ask the usual question about spade grip vs ‘modern’ fighter grip!! Which was positioning of controls in cockpit (i.e. swapping hands on takeoff from throttle to U/C control) and high stick forces related

Thanx Martyn….it is my fav Lufty grip….I bought it in 1990 at a Christies auction. Wish I knew its history with the 5 kill marks.

I believe it is an Emil E4 stick so may be for fusing the bomb? Steve will likely know more on this.
