What does this part belong to

[Admin]

A friend was given this part to give to me, it was found in the belongings of a friend's father who had passed away.

 

Seems like the top of a control stick in an old military plane but don't know which one. Here are the pictures of it

Ian, it's a control handle from a Gloster Meteor F8. Scroll down the page below for more photos.

They're highly sought after by the 2001 Space Odyssey fans for models of the Orion space clipper controls.

OK Brains trust! The 2001 chest pack control handle is made from which aircraft part? I sort of think it might be the joystick from a Canberra bomber but I'm sure someone can set me right!
