The centre boss of the control wheel has a pivot point which looks like a typical brake lever pivot. From this I would assume it is an aircraft that doesn't have toe brakes on the rudder pedals. The boss also has an 'AH' part number would that make it a Dunlop component, were 'AH' numbers only...

Thanks for looking, i,ve attached a few more photos with the only other numbers i can find on the column and wheel assembly.

Could anyone identify this control column and control wheel please? The wheel looks very similar to a Whitley or Abermarle but the column is very different. Does the part number stamped on the inside of the column (Picture 3) mean anything to anyone, I can't find a reference anywhere to this...

I have some cockpit control parts which I think are from an Armstrong Whitworth aircraft from about 1930/1940 (possibly Albemarle or Whitley). Does anyone have any information they could share for this type of aircraft, anything would help Pilots Notes, photos etc. There are some part numbers on...

For the Venom it is the Ghost engine.

Not a WW11 aircraft but hopefully someone can help with manuals for the DH Venom and ghost engine. A copy of the parts books, servicing and maintenance manuals would be great.

DFM+BB For information regarding the DH part in the photo try the De Havilland Museum in the UK at London Colney. They have a lot of information and I'm sure they will be able to help.
