A nice copy, cast from an original. Not smooth enough, not crisp enough. Some countersinking left out and the screw is a new addition.

Hello Brian, would be curious to know how much! A similar (or the same) stick was on sale from the East recently. It looks a bit primitive for a Yak 28 stick but is certainly interesting. Probably cheaper to post than tank hatches, too!

The A-4M really is a beauty. Quite a family gathering there.

It looks to have been cast from an original. The finish doesn’t look good enough to fly.

Hello Brad. From what I found out, the grip is from an MG151/20 mounted turret. This was the ‘tall’ type, fitted to Condors, BV138 and BV222 float planes and in the wings of powered Gigants. I did find some nice interior shots of the turret but can’t post. Although the grip is similar, the turrets fitted to Ju188s and Do217s were different. Jabba has posted some useful diagrams.
In the strange way of things, I got a Boulton Paul turret stick through the post this morning. It sounds identical to yours, but all the pictures have disappeared in the thread!

Thanks for the photos, must have been a very enjoyable meander. Is number 10 a pilotless thingamy?

The cartridges were loaded in a magazine closer to the cockpit, with a stainless steel tube taking the blast to the starter under the blister. There is a unit on eBay at the moment. Very unusual.

Thanks Swifter, a quick look further up this thread shows it off well. That’s an odd Variation on the Hudson/Electra theme Rob. A quick google suggests that RAF Venturas continued with the Hudson style wheel.
