You’ll need a bigger crane.

Here’s a selection of Dowty grips, Hawk, FRS1 Shar and Sidewinder mod Harrier. Even with near identical grips there are still differences in triggers, flaps and trim switches. Improvements or the joy of making things more expensive and difficult?
The FRS1 is new and missing it’s trim switch. It should be possible to make a replacement but if anyone has a spare I’d be very interested! Looking forward to the sticky possibilities of Cockpit fest but with little money to spend:( A weeks holiday in the UK really drains the coffers!

Definitely coming up, but only for a Satur Daytrip. Travel plans being discussed although it may be a part train journey and thus difficult to bring ‘things’.

I think we’re talking different yokes Darrell, the one ones I saw were (I think) your Viscount example and one off a Varsity. I thought they had yet to go out on the stall but had in fact already been sold. Did you get the ebay Comet yoke by the way? There are some lovely yokes available in the States at the moment. There is a P61 wheel but for more than I can justify.
Mark, it’s a worrying state of affairs when one needs a control column to support another control column! On the damage front, I dropped my B1 grip and broke the flip cover off. Give me a scratched wall, and attendant grief, any day!
Martyn, the bezel is a combination of laser cutting and good old fashioned drilling, with a couple of machine crews to hold it together. Next job is to stand up a Skyhawk grip and IDF gunsight control. It has settings for Migs, Phantoms and Starfighters. Quite a varied opposition.

Here is the taboo track wheel. Interesting to find such a conclusive piece. I’m pretty sure the second part is the top of the rear crew door. It has been unpleasantly perforated by flack.

An astonishing level of detail. So many bits! Is that original glazing, it looks new?
