Description
This is the pilots chair and control column/grip from a Russian Antonov An-2 aircraft. This was given the NATO codename COLT.
The blue paint is completely original and there is a part number on the front face-off the chair.
We purchased this from a contact in Archangel in 2021.
The An-2 is widely used in Eastern Europe as a light cargo plane due to its tough construction and high wing it can land and take off on short and rough airfields. It is a single engined biplane.
It is used for water bombing, crop spraying. flying ambulance and carrying passengers or troops. It appears regularly in techno thrillers.
The drawing shows the chair in use in the aircraft.
The two stainless steel poles at the rear are the original mounting poles that the seat was suspended on.
The large lever was for the high adjustment and allows the two stainless poles ta teh rear to move. The small level is a valve for the hot air seat heating.
We have added an aluminium base plate and commissioned laser cut stainless steel legs that are bolted to the base.
We had added rubber feet to the bottom of the legs so that they don't scratch floors.
We have made two leather cushions that match the design on the aircraft chair and are extended slightly forward to make the chair more comfortable to sit on
The chair is 95 cm high and 60 to 55 cm wide.
The seat cushion is 42 x 31 cm and sits at 54 cm from the ground.
The control column is also completely original and freely moves left and right. All three switches are working and we have added a spring to make the brake level return.
The control boss has the Cyrillic An-2 on it. It is original.
We have turned a disc to mount the column on bolted into a solid aluminium billet that the column is mounted on using the original bolt holes.
A very individual item that can used as a library chair, hall chair and as a light duty office desk chair. It is a narrow chair and so is not a lounge chair.
Can also be for use as a simulator.
Condition report:
Chair is in very good condition with all original paint being bright and clean.
Control column is original paint but slightly word and overpainted in service in places.
Additional dimensions information:
The seat cushion is 42 x 31 cm and sits at 54 cm from teh ground.
