-Any AH numbers inscribed?

-Afraid not; couldn't find any on the grips or the columns.

-I would think Firefly is the obvious candidate?

-Thanks AM. Quite possibly - will look in to that further. We looked at some of the FAA aircraft but I think we paid more attention to the Sea Fury.

-Even if it is Firefly, here is a Gannet column:-

-Thanks guys. Yeah, I think the Gannet one is the AH.8400 family.
There are some good Firefly AS.6 photos here...

-Hi Nicko,
That 'bracket' is actually a weight, I have only ever seen it fitted on Firefly handles?
For your info, the Sea Fury also uses the Dunlop Mk2 ring handle like the Gannet too.

ID on these? In an Australian collection so thought to be more likely an RAAF or RAN type.
