Hello Dan, are you sure it’s not a B2 Stealth yoke, it’s photo resolutely refuses to appear! Interesting info on the auto pilot sticks, Swifter. They really do hide away in B17 cockpit photos. I’ve never seen one in a B24.
Regarding your ‘dancing girls’ B52 yokes, I raise you ‘courting swans’ F111 sticks, now sporting fancy bases. Also similarly erected P51 column. The holiday hasn’t been entirely wasted.
Finally, the top of B26 Marauder column, just needing the yoke. I’m not holding my breath for one of them.

Spitfire spares had a whole column and wheel a while back but I think it went. A challenge to find, crash recovered might be your best bet. I found a B26 column top on evilbay. Do post a pick of your yoke though!

It’s a selector button rather than trim. I’ve never seen one for sale but you could rip one out of this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suncom-Technologies-F-15E-Talon-96662500-Joystick-For-Parts-Repair-Only-/400746702796?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d4e5d67cc

Very much like Wellington. I’ve not seen any Wellesley at all.

Hello Garry, I’m not sure about the bomb sight accessories but I had a go at a bomb aimer’s panel a while back, based on a drawing posted on the forum a long time before that! Looking at interior shots they are all different. The ‘Lancaster explored’ dvd has the best collection of reference photos anywhere.

Nice work! Lovely to see it in 3D, you’ll be sitting in it soon.

Just arrived from the States in extravagently large boxes, F111 and Cessna Bird Dog sticks. Contrasting fastest and slowest aircraft in the skies over Vietnam. It was a dead heat to my door though.

Lots of holes to fill there, Ozjag. Looks very complete though. Another fairly cheap information option here: http://www.flight-manuals-on-cd.com/OV1.htm

Do share your research. It sounds an impressive piece of work.

Usually ‘Otto Push Switches’ on US aircraft grips. These are the wrong colour but should fit, for considerably less cash:

Mohawk grips are a pleasing shape. I’m not sure which model this one’s from but not a Viper from Battlestar Galactica though.

Is this any use to your project? Not Skycrane, very much Mohawk: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201252819094?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Not a definite but could it be an adapter plate to fit a small boost gauge in a big, early Mk1 Spit boost gauge hole?

Thanks for the extra info TT. I’d looked at the T6 stick in a previous ‘favourite grip’ thread to reassure myself but it’s good to have it confirmed. Interesting crossover with all these forums and groups! Strange that more manufacturers didn’t go down the common parts route. Mind you, the Luftwaffe did and look where it got them…
