| Re: Calling all arm-chair aviation historians . . . !
Yes, I know who currently owns the Gibson control grip mentioned. It is beautifully mounted on a base, with a small plaque describing its provenance and was given to a friend many years ago by the Avro inspector who had rercognized the aircraft's serial number. The owner is a well-known British aviation historian who keeps it displayed in his study. I have held it when visiting him in the UK some years ago. Rest assured that it will eventually go to a suitable museum and will not end up on e-bay. |
