    Generally “British Association” threads were used on instrument panels then, often 4BA usually round head, sometimes 2BA, and sometimes countersunk, usually steel except close to magnetic compasses where brass was used.

    Other components used BSW and BSF threads.

    Later on unified threads (UNC & UNF) were used, even aluminium screws (horrible things!)

    Phantoms and Hercules were delivered with ANF and ANC threads except for the UK supplied parts.

    Vampire/Venom canopy Jettison

    It is held in by a canopy jettison latch rail on each side. Pulling the jettison handle moves the rail rearwards allowing the rail and canopy to fly up and away.
    Normal removal requires winding the canopy back and depressing the spring loaded stop.
    Hope this helps, PM me if you need more, and iof you have a latch rail for the starboard side, please can I have it!

    Power Plug Adaptor

    As a ground equipment item it will be in section 5G. Now, not quite what you aked for but 5G/3495 was an adaptor to allow the use of a more moden “NATO” style 3 pin 28V dc ground supply plug to mate with an old round two pin socket, as I guess was fitted to the Chipmunk.
    But , no I haven’t got one!

    Hope this helps,

    XF940’s Type 3KS1 Mk 4, would often be referred to as a Mk 3KS just to confuse things!

    and of course there are foreign aircraft types (this from an ex-Swiss Venom Mk4):

    How about Sealand? The railway ran between South Camp and West Camp and there was an aircraft crossing point, but some way from the bridge. West camp was sold off in the sixties.
