Hi SSD,

Good picture, I was surprised upon seeing those Ram Horns, I thought they would have been a more normal(if thats the word) type of hand operated joystick, but the Captain I spoke with on my school boyish type visit to the pointed end replied they were quiet comfortable to work with.
In your picture were you turning to S/B the AH says you were tilting, or was it switched off.
Also a question I didn't ask when there looking at all those analogue dials was, where on the instrument panel was the ASi,? and can it be seen in your picture.

what an aircraft..more really, it was a piece of flying Art, I think ranking with the icons of flying such as the Spitfire, Phantom, Lightening, Hunter, Typhoon, but thats just my thoughts....a great loss to have scrapped and withdrawn it.
