Blackburn Botha – who’d have thought! A tribute to your perseverance and collection of manuals Air Min.
Regarding the rudder pedal adjuster, it is definately not Whitley i’m afraid. Believe me, I wish it was! So far I have collected two types of Whitley rudder pedal adjuster, I think of them as early and late pattern types. They are of the star wheel type seen below and cast in aluminium and run along a steel shaft with an acme type thread. I think that’s what’s shown in your Whitley picture. Please see my picture below
I understand your reluctance to use FB, I am similar. However, the game changer for me was the groups, there are so many and they are often so interesting and focused, bringing together people with like minded interests from all over the globe, a little like how this forum used to be, but on steroids.
Regarding your mystery American bomb levers, that factory stamp group is mainly German/UK centric and i’m not sure the best place to ask. You are more likely to get a response if you try the Warbird Information Exchange group (WIX) or start searching for more specific groups – there will be groups dedicated to the B-24 and Havoc too, and you could also ask there. Just my humble suggestion. You could also seek out Paul Bellamy, he is very good at identifying American stuff.
