Peter, thanks for this thought. I attach an enlarged view of one end showing the screw thread extension. Is this what you would expect to see as part of the cable guide? If so, this is a clear possibility, but item 92 was found quite some distance from the CSU cable (90A).
I had at first wondered whether it could be a brace connection on the undercarriage but, although made of steel, it would seem to be not sufficiently substantial to be load bearing. And what would be the function of the threaded attachment?
Sorry for the confusion, but what I had been trying to describe as a Control Rod, is included in the Parts List as part of the flying controls and is described as a “tie rod” which seems to be much smaller in dimension. Similar pieces are shown by the diagrams as linked to a chain connection in a number of places. The length is not shown, but the diagrams indicate that some of these could be a little like our item. Is this a possibility, or am I on completely the wrong track?
You will note a part reference number on Laurent’s picture: this appears to be [Edit] 900 W 110 VY12, which is not a number I recognise in the parts list, and is not like the Air Ministry numbers. Maybe someone recognises this style of numbering?
