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.

all the best -- Dan Ford
