And 96 wasn’t the model number either. A little knowledge…:(

Very impressive item Nick! You’ll need a lot of Deox C to get it perfect but will be well worth it. Interesting that items removed from the hills back in the eighties are appearing again for display. Can I hear ‘Peak Wreck Hunter’ turning in his grave? I do hope so.

Here is a finished off a Harrier grip stand. Much as I’d like a GR7 and FA2 I don’t think they will be appearing in time to leave spaces for them. I didn’t know about the development Harrier stick, as excellently displayed by GOKONE at the fest so that will also be ignored. So much to learn!

That’s a lovely group, bigdave. Both ends of a Lanc covered and in great condition. The connection for the second yoke must be quite unusual.
Here’s a less historic one from cockpifest, a rough casting for an HS125 yoke. Makes a nice comparison with the finished version. Thanks AM.

I think you have a gun camera cover rather than a gun port cover. I have a less bent one with ‘camera cover’ or similar stamped into it. A useful clue for identification!

Thanks Rob, not quite a display yet. Literally still up on bricks!
WB556, I don’t think even JetArt have had an FA.2 stick for sale. I’d love one but you’re a more deserving cause;)

Lift sorted for the ‘fest and very much looking forward to coming up (thanks Marks). Would love to see some exotic sticks. Martyn, your AH64 pair and Russian stuff would be interesting and Tony, does the TSR2 grip ever leave the safe? That would be something!
There’s a third FRS1 stick on ebay at the moment, this time with GR1 trim switch. It looks a bit unlikely but did it ever happen? I rushed home to try fitting a similar late Wessex trim switch to mine but alas it didn’t work.
Hopefully this will be finished for next year, panel and sticks.
