Well I’ve already donated so that is good news. Always make me smile when I hear / see that Catalina chugging around here.

Thanks AA, I had a funny feeling I was clutching at straws.

The three screws at the top make me think Short Sunderland / Solent, but that would mean there’s a cover or something missing on the column.

Or maybe in the case of there being no cover could possibly mean a Short Shetland?!

Swifter, that B-17 wheel and partial control column is in amazing original condition. Do you have an I.d to go with it?

Brilliant! And with the top part of the column too that’s a rare find!

I’m probably barking up the wrong cockpit but that partial control yoke and column has an Armstrong Whitworth look about it, but the yoke seems to be a flat design rather than dished!?

“Martin, you are absolutely right. Rob, I’m sorry, I thought all control wheel collectors knew Nick Louis”.

No problem at all. I’m not a big collector of wheels, but a couple I saw recently I just couldn’t resist.

I hadn’t even realised there was a difference in Throttle boxes between the Taurus and Twin Wasp engined Beauforts. But I guess that’s what part of this thread is all about – education .

And thanks for the comparison with the Beaufighter box. It certainly looks poorly, but with winter now just around the corner..!

Ahh yes of course, thanks Martin. I was hoping someone in the UK might have a couple of spare ones going spare!

I’m looking for these yoke switches if anyone can help?

Ah yes of course, Beaufort, obviously! At least I was sure it was Bristol.

I’d gladly give those a home.

Very interesting. The quadrants look Beaufighter to me – but the canted forward levers look unusual!

It’s starting to feel like I’m flogging a dead horse here, but I’ll persevere a little longer.

The larger item appears to be a T.R. Controller face plate, but is it a 1143 or a 1430?

Two separate pieces have transpired to be an instrument or switch mount approx 4cms diameter. Any ideas?

Thanks Warren. Around £350 if I remember correctly
