From: Teetering Towers - somewhere in the Shires
Even more fun in the Sycamore (I've been told - even Teehead not that old!) was the manual throttle from the LHS; not only used with right hand, but rotated forward - it was the cross-piece on a Tee-shaped collective located centrally.

Very disorientating flying "wrong-handed"; for many years CFS(H) [who train all UK mil helo instructors] include a "wrong-hands hover" demo for student instructors ... amongst other reasons, so they could remember how hard hovering is the first time you try!
