Very nice! Two flap levers out of one Spitfire, We’ll be finding two sticks on a Stuka next. My camera and your shed need to meet up.

Not as historic but here are a couple more. Puma and Skyship Blimp.

The Air Forces Memorial, Runnymede is a good place to start:

http://www.cwgc.org/search/cemetery_reports.aspx?cemetery=109600&mode=1
It lists over 20,000 of the missing. Until I checked the link I didn’t realise just how many names were recorded. Appalling.

Some very desirable items there. The Pucara instrument panel is very interesting.

You offer an excellent service Bruce, I’ll be off to the post office Monday to pick up that last button thanks.

Yes, Javelin stick. The trigger/ safety linkage is rather beautiful. It’s the same on Vampire and Hunter sticks. It only takes a couple of clicks and confirmed pacifists are shooting down imaginary adversaries: No I don’t want a go on a helicopter one, give me one with guns! Ju88 columns are very impressive, I think it’s a clock in the center though.

It does look the same basic pattern, Pagen. Javelin is almost identical as well. The Scimitar has a much more basic trim switch, none of the fancy ribbed stainless. Looking for Tony’s fancy German yoke I came acros this page. Practically pornography.
