Unlike the toe brakes on aircraft produced by others, brakes
on Brit airplanes were activated by a single lever.

The Piper Colt had a single brake handle, but at least it was a trike.
It must have been a bear, handling a taildragger on the ground without
differential brakes, especially on asphalt.

They had differential brakes. with the pedals center, when the lever is pulled,
you got pressure to both brakes, if you have the left pedal in, you get left
brake, if you got right pedal in, you get right brake. The system is very easy
to operate, just I don't like air systems, it can be a bitch finding a leak.
