Re: Spitfire Spade Grip?
Not Spitfire.
Probably a very low grade item poorly filled, resin coated and equipped with a dummy gun button or could even be a cast/moulded replica. They are all made by Dunlop with individual Type specific features. On a Spitfire the air feed lines are internal to the mount diameter. This one has external feed line. No brake lever and parking catch. PeterA

Re: Spitfire Spade Grip?
Conceptually, why was the "Spade Grip" conceived and then later abandoned as a control column?
Thanks Rob Romero Last edited by Rob Romero; 16th August 2009 at 00:34.
