As always, begging for help.....

A friend recently acquired a rather battered spade grip (must be from a Spitfire then... ;) ), with an AH900 ref no.

Can anyone id what type of a/c it would have been from?

Cheers.

That´s the only information I´ve got:
A.P.1086, Part 11E lists the following "ring control handles" for the Spitfire:
AH2174 for Spitfire IA, IIA, VA
AH8068 for Seafire, Spitfire IB, IIB, VB, VC, F.VI, VII, VIII, FIX, FXII, FXXI
A proper grip for the Harvard I and II should be stamped AH2242, a proper Hurricane, AH2040.
AH2040 also "fits" the Battle, Fulmar, Lysander I and II, Skua, Swordfish and Whirlwind.
Cheers,
Herbert
