Could someone please help me Identify this Pretty Please
Ok the markings on it are
The Type and part number.
MBB CO415
EX RAF MOD Surplus
Type mrca nhc adv
Now I realise that
MBB is the German Company Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm and
Under type MRCA was the designation for the Multi Role Combat Aircraft, which became the Tornado, ADV was the Air Defence Variant.......
So thats what I went by..
But it does not look like the ones at least in the front cockpits.....
Picture below
Thank you for your time

NHC might stand for Navigator Hand Controller, in which case that's what it would be. 2 axis control of the radar marker, some switches for selecting radar mode/prf/gain etc. Could be it.
Edit to add: I realise that it's not the nhc from the GR4, but I've no idea what the one in the F3 looks like!
Just a guess.

Yep, I can confirm its the joystick for the F3 Nav's (sorry, 'WSO') to control the radar and slew the marker. Better than having a computer to do it, although you only have to punch the information once into a computer.
Nutloose,
When you say MOD surplus do you mean it is or was available to purchase? If they are BAE should buy them and offer to refit GR4 with them as an update, far superior to the original.

I intend to rewire a plug onto the base plug, possibly replace a couple of the switches with some ex MOD top hat ones I have, then connect it up to a knackered Gaming joysticks innards........ shouldn't wear out any time soon
Thank you all the help and for the replies, I take it now it is as said
TYPE
MRCA NHC ADV
which stands for
Multi Role Combat Aircraft.... Navigators Hand Controller.... Air Defence Variant
Excellent
