I hadn't been drinking when I posted, so it was just an off-the-hip instant reaction

The adjustment holes facilitate the TT Operator getting the optimum height for his task? Seems a rather luxurious arrangement, to be sure! But then a built-in clothes-horse would be even more luxurious!

However, as you noted in your post above ...
... but the chances of finding any more pilots or engineers of that era are vanishingly slim now, and when you narrow it down to the small number of TT operators, it must be nil.
Frustrating, innit?
