I have a feeling like I say that it’s been a modified screw driver created by a fitter for the job. The screw is the same that cardiffrob put a picture up of, 2ba

Slightly off-topic, I know, but...
IIRC, Mr Phillips invented the Phillips Head screw and Henry Ford bought Gazillions of them to stop workers scratching paint when their Flat-Heads slipped on the production line, circa 1920s. The Pozidriv came out because the Phillips design makes the driver cam-out at high torque whereas the Pozidriv will resist the temptation, leading to tighter screws. This was potentially a solution to the issue of flat-heads going off and ripping into fabric sections on Aircraft, too. I skinned a DH89A last year and that has brass flat-heads holding down trim panels right next to fabric sections.

Might need your skinning prowess if I get my mitts on a project aircraft I’m chasing, a hiper bipe
