Hello Tim, I think we met over a hedge at that one! Good luck with the display, if you need anything laser cut for it do get in touch. I’ll try and scan a better version for you.

I missed your post, sorry GOKONE. I’ll give your method of stopping the white a go on a discrete area. The F89 radar controller came from Shoreham a couple of years ago, it could be the same one. On the Junkers yoke front, this is ‘generating interest’ on that interweb: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121427911739?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Finally a new Fouga Magister column. Not sure if it’s front or back seat? Definitely Fouga as it’s stamped into the front.

Excellent spot FLY.BUY, that is a rare one. Did you get in contact with the owner?

Boo Hisss.

Interesting discussions, glad to be back to a real keyboard! Your Lightning display is a work of art John, even down to the sleeve on the brake cable hole. How did you get the cable connector through the hole? It looks a squeeze. To confuse the Guardian grip debate, my C1 autopilot has a a B6 grip with the two sets of adjusters and no depression.
The NAF grips often attributed to Corsairs probably aren’t. Corsair grips have a VS prefixed part number and were ground slightly shorter at the base, shown here
http://www.warbirdsite.com/museumcolumns.html and on KD431 at Yeovilton. They were also fitted to lots of helicopters including Bell 47s and Jet Rangers, as were B7As. The photo also shows a variation on the B8 theme (not all the same) for a Jetranger with a 206 part number.
The holiday was low on aviation but a trip to the excellent museum at Montrose found a couple of things. First an odd un machined ‘Meteor’ grip and second a Halifax yoke. The first grip looked a bit like an apprentice/mock up piece but there were two of them.

Also on holiday Wulfie. Hope it goes well, really enjoyed the last ones.
