The Helicopter Museum are in the process of restoring a Mk 10

So I would have thought the advice given was correct. They probably have the aircraft's air PublicationTopic 3 Illustrated Parts Catelogue or even copies of the aircraft's drawings. Why not ask them to confirm?

Whirly 10??? yet another no-no I'm afraid! ... that is to say it's not a Whirly pilot seat. The only non-pilot seating was the usual canvas sling type. Even our VIP fit didn't run to armrests.
Must check my logbooks and see how many of that list appear!!
There used to be another one in the Science Museum overflow storage at Wroughton = that one definitely featured several times.

mysterious aircraft seat
mantog,
The seat is from the HPR7 Dart Herald. The seats are handed and this is the Captains side, the spigot on aft left side engaged in a ball race on the bulkhead, and the right hand side pivot was held in place with a clamp and pip pin. The right hand arm rest rotated up and locked after you had wedged yourself in place, the harness is a standard teleflex reel and heavy webbing,
hope this helps,
best regards, om15
