-Going by the grip thread, you have it as co pilot Sycamore grip Tony, thought it looked familiar. Anything else appealing at War and Peace?

-Not Dragonfly, more likely Whirlwind Co-Pilot/Left hand seat, here's one I liberated earlier, well about 1988 at Guetersloh actually! (This was from a HAR10 used as a BDR airframe)

-Well that's fairly conclusive GYD. Lovingly hand stolen etc...

-Certainly not stolen! I had permission to steal it, that's different!

-Hi, Many thanks for all the replies, I will stick (excuse the punn) a label on it. At the War & Peace I saw a Vickers yoke, looked Vicking to me or something simular also a few German grips but could have been fakes?? and an early Mig stick.

Hi, I acquired this grip and took a bit of a gamble on it as it wasn't huge money, originally I thought Gannet but cannot find any reliable reference on the web, the part number also throws a blank, seems to have "AC" on it denoting aircraft, so early Whirlwind helicopter maybe?? I am sure the grip experts will know for sure.
Thanks
Dan
