Thanks to FLY.BUY of this parish, a rare new addition to the collection. Tu-22M/Backfire C yoke. More than pleased, though my Russian is letting me down on the uses of the various switches and buttons. Cyrillic is not Google translate friendly. I’ve got as far as radio/ICS on the left hand stalk, with a possibility of nose wheel steering. Top right flap is brake chute. Any help much appreciated!

Great story, thanks for the link.

Steering rack off a car. Probably! Always worth an ask.

That’s an impressive collection, Nick! Great to have room to let them breathe a little. On the ‘objects of desire’ front, how about this imaginatively priced B-1 stick on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rockwell-B-1B-Lancer-Bomber-control-stick-grip-/142629580853
I’d like it, but not that much!

It looks British to me, by the style of the numbers and stamps. A good price, although as you say, not Storch!

Was about to post this one, https://www.oncealoft.com/product-page/707-control-wheel-retaining-spring, then realised it was the same photo. Quite steep for a spring clip. I’ve got a spare 707 centre cap and a DC-3 centre acorn spare/ swaps if anyone’s interested.

Serious shelving! That will be a treat having everything together. Look forward to seeing them filled.

He also has a ‘Corsair’ grip. Too long for a Corsair grip and the wrong part number. Most likely Jetranger helicopter or similar. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WW2-ORIGINAL-RAF-CORSAIR-FIGHTER-AIRCRAFT-COCKPIT-CONTROL-STICK-COLUMN/362170459195?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3D2c465707de8742d389f697e9a176f138%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D362170459195&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507
