Only a guess but they look like cowling gill hinges. Worth a google.

That would spoil your afternoon.

Looks an interesting dig. A pity the chalk is so damned hard!

I think I misread your post 345 Tony, was thinking of a chat at the aeroboot re planning for Cockpitfest. I would have thought a table or two there would be sufficient. There is an interested audience and they all already turn up! That said Old Sarum is a lot closer to home and there wouldn’t be a profusion of stick fingered children breaking bits off cherished items. If you were airing some of your collection I’d be there!

Your Harrier stick display, GOKONE. A tactile treat.

Good plan Tony, I’d certainly be interested. Was great to see and fondle Martyn’s and GOKONE’s displays at the Fest.

Nice grip Steve, Alan had some at Cockpitfest but the vultures (myself included) descended so quickly his cardboard box of grip spares emptied instantly. I think they had different flip covers though. I’m also after a brake lever for a new acquisition.
Very nice items, McLittle. The Beaufort yoke is particularly impressive. The base looks more Beaufighter than Blenheim so presumably the Bristol lineage went off in odd directions!
