What Cockpit? MK VI

[Kitbag]

Other side of the front then; Gotha G.V?

[Noyade]

0630 hrs here and 0.1 deg C. :(
Just heading to work and would like to confirm Kitbag's Gotha...

Oh well I have nothing prepared right now. OH if SD confirms

[sabredog]

Kitbag is correct, the Gotha G-IV.
Kitbag has declared;
Open House.

[Kitbag]

Early Burnelli? can only find descriptions of his GX-3?

[Noyade]

It's British Kitbag.
Claude Grahame-White at the controls.
Designed for passenger flying and set a World record in 1913.
One of the largest British aircraft built before WWI.

:)

[MReyn24050]

The Grahame-White "Aero-Char-a-banc" perhaps?
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Char-a-banc.jpg

[Noyade]

That is the one Mel. Your control. :ok:

The Grahame-White Type 10 Charabanc. It set a World record at Hendon on 22nd September 1913 with pilot and seven passengers remaining aloft for 17 min 25.4 sec.
This was bettered on the 2nd October by cramming nine passengers in the nacelle and staying airborne for 19 min 47 sec.

[evansb]

Well spotted Mel. I do recall a crisp French "Char-a-Blanc" that was quite complementary with my Dover sole. No connection, I suspect...;)

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Graeme and Bri. What vintage was the "Char-a-blanc" Bri, I hope you served it at the right temperature.:)
I am amazed how he managed to persuade nine people to go up in the machine. Perhaps he served them a good wine.
Here is the next. Somewhat more modern.

Mockup possibly?

[evansb]

Make that the Northrop X-21A laminar flow experimental platform based on the Douglas B-66. Perhaps ?

Good grief! Could it be a Transavia Airtruk (PL-12) by any chance?

OH if correct, off for another night in the sky shortly.


Cheers,

[India Four Two]

BSD,

I hope you have an uneventful night.

Not the Airtruk, but you are on the right track. This aircraft is beautiful by comparison. ;)

[Ridge Runner]

Dromader???

[India Four Two]

Not as big as a Dromader.

[sycamore]

Cessna 188 Ag-truck/husky...?

[India Four Two]

sycamore,

Closer in size but wrong manufacturer.

[India Four Two]

A larger view and a clue.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/india42/IMG-0211a.jpg

What is the box on top of the glare shield?

[SincoTC]

Hi India Four Two,

This aircraft is beautiful by comparison

I agree, but the name is none too flattering if it what I think it is, the Gippsland GA200 Fatman ??

Open House if correct please.

[India Four Two]

SincoTC,

Yes the Fatman - this one:

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/india42/GA-200FatmanIMG_0175a.jpg

Effectively an all-new, enlarged Pawnee. I don't know the derivation of the name. It makes a great glider towplane. An interesting feature is that the pilot's seat and controls are slightly offset, so there is room for a (small) passenger on the right. Sort of a one-and-a-half seater.

SincoTC has declared Open House.

[asw28-866]

India Four Two,

The box on top of the panel is a FLARM. Developed in Switzerland, it is a kind of 'poor mans' TCAS. The FLARM units all broadcast to each other and a display on the box indicates when one is getting too close and where it is relative to yourself. Often mandated for glider competitions in this part of the world.

'866

Edited to correct country of origin and apologise to India Four Two for having a blonde moment and missing the fact it was a clue. Think I've had too much sun!

[India Four Two]

'866.

That was a rhetorical question. ;) A very poorly worded clue. All of the fleet at Omarama has FLARM installed.

There is a very good simulation of how FLARM would have helped possibly prevent a mid-air in the US at this link: GliderPilot.org - Parowan Mid-air Simulation (http://www.gliderpilot.org/Flarm-ParowanMidairSimulation)
Luckily both pilots survived.

[Fitter2]

Developed in Australia?? Urs will be miffed. FLARM is designed and made in Swizerland, although units for use in Ozland (and presumably NZ) have their frequency changed

[Noyade]

Not on Mel's list, but he did mention it...five years ago. :)

http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/9762/img009qq.jpg (http://img189.imageshack.us/i/img009qq.jpg/)

[India Four Two]

Is it the prototype of some multi-million pound development programme by Baron Waste O'Space that was subsequently cancelled due to cost over-runs? :E

[Noyade]

No mate. :)

Twenty seven built. Here's a cutaway of it...

[India Four Two]

Terrence,

I'll start the ball rolling. Tandem two-seat high-wing monoplane with an inverted inline four - possibly a Menasco Pirate?

[sabredog]

Not the Menasco Pirate,Simon,but it is a two-seat, braced high-wing cabin monoplane with a radial engine.

[Noyade]

Is it from the USA?

[SincoTC]

good morning Terrence,

I think it's a Rearwin Model 7000 Sportster ??

[sabredog]

Good morning to you,TC.
It is indeed the Rearwin Model 7000 Sportster.
Well done.
YHC

[SincoTC]

Thanks SD, a good challenge :ok:

An easy one for a quiet Sunday!

http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n540/SincoSafe/TC_WzztCP043.jpg

[SincoTC]

Hmm, a very quiet Sunday, so a little clue before Monday arrives!

A project with high ambitions, the image shows partially completed instrumentation as successfully test flown on three occasions, however, it was cancelled before its ultimate design purpose was realised.

[Noyade]

high ambitions

How high?

Space travel?
One of those highupperosphere balloony things?

:)

[SincoTC]

A'rtnoon Graeme

How high?

Good question mate, not much wiggle-room there, I could say how high it got during tests, but the ambition was about a quarter million miles!! :)

[Noyade]

Looks like canvas in the background?

but the ambition was about a quarter million miles!! :)To the moon....and hopefully back, eh? Have you seen the movie Apollo 18? Based on the Hollywood interiors from that movie, yours looks cheap and nasty like the poor Russian cosmonaut's vehicle. The poor bugger was killed by the "sleeping rocks". See it - you'll laugh! :)

[Noyade]

Well, I'll be damned - Was it depicted in Apollo18....?

A bloodstained Soviet LK lander is depicted in the movie Apollo 18 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_18_%28film%29).Poor bugger....:(. Never trust Moon rocks!

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/1840/apollo185.jpg (http://img208.imageshack.us/i/apollo185.jpg/)

[SincoTC]

I haven't seen that movie yet mate, but no doubt it'll do the rounds on the "haunted fish-tank" before long.

Not canvas though; in fact it was a much heavier construction than Apollo due to the requirement for Air at normal atmospheric pressure for safety reasons, rather than the American choice of pure Oxygen at lower pressure, which cost the lives three astronauts in a ground test.

Russian cosmonaut's vehicle
Edited to say that you got it mate!

It is the Soviet lunar lander - the Russian counterpart of the American LM Lunar Module. The LK ('Lunniy korabl' - lunar craft)

The "Real story" is here: LK (http://www.astronautix.com/craft/lk.htm)

http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n540/SincoSafe/lemvslk.gif

Noyade has control :ok:

[Noyade]

I'll try and create the scene...

The American astronauts go into this crater - completely dark of course, and for some reason they have this flashing strobe light (don't torches work on the moon?) and regularly light their path. Lots of grunting and panting as they make their way down into the crater and then "pop" goes strobe and the full screen shows the Cosmonauts skull. Shock value - but I did feel a sphincter loosen a little.

Noyade has control http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/thumbs.gifThanks mate, but I can't accept that on the grounds I watch B-grade horror. :)


NOT a challenge, just out of interest for anyone. Recognise any of the interiors? Quiz from the mid-90's...

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/7700/img022qw.jpg (http://img442.imageshack.us/i/img022qw.jpg/)

OPEN HOUSE.

[Agaricus bisporus]

The whole sorry saga of the botched Soviet moon programme is given first hand and in immense detail in Boris Chertok's "Rockets and People Vol IV". Chertok was the electrical and controls designer throughout the entire Soviet rocket programme from the captured V2s onwards.

All four books are fascinating but very long. Rocket nerds only!

Hello evansb, not the Douglas Dolphin but it is an American flying boat from the same era.

[Noyade]

[Karlark]

Yessir. Or as we say in Minnesota.. yah, you bettcha' it's made outta' spot-welded Stainless Steel. :)

Evening. :)

As we all know now it's the Phalanx Dragon :)No mate, you got me all wrong. I was hoping once you found the Dragon you could/would be lead to another American Aircaft Corporation (AAC) product (they had quite a few designs back then).
The tandem cockpit and rear stingers belong to the AAC Penetrator helicopter...

But all's good, carry on. :ok:

Dornier 24?

:)

[SincoTC]

G'day Graeme,

No mate, you got me all wrong.

You certainly had us fooled there mate, I spent so long chasing the Dragon that I had to dash for the shops after you withdrew it and didn't see that the cockpit on the Dragon article David posted looked nothing like the ones above :O

But all's good, carry on.

Dornier 24?

Thanks mate :ok:

No mine isn't a Do.24, why on earth would I post that :p ? Of course I found a good one of that, but it's been done before!!

You'd better start looking mate, Karl will probably be here soon and mine came from the same source as his Seabird (at least the piccie he used is on there) :)

Edit:

No excuses there mate, I/we didn't spot the collective lever, of course it wasn't the Dragon :O!!

Time for bed now, have a good day :ok:

[Noyade]

All in good fun mate - sleep well. :ok:

Yours looks like there is a gun-sight on the dash mate? Some sort of fighter-bomber-patrol aircraft from WW2?
Twin?

Probably a MkII given the Instructor instrumentation - it could be a III but one can not tell without seeing the fin.

OH.

Not Swiss. The aircraft was an experimental prototype.

[Noyade]

Not much chop when it comes to controls, but is this another glider of the Hotspur era?

[evansb]

Yes, it is a glider.

[Noyade]

It looks like the tandem cockpit is surrounded by the wing? In fact, the front cockpit appears to be level with the leading edge?

Breakfast is over - back to work. :)

The nose curvature, perspex squares and sparse controls - are we still in glider mode?

I'm thinking Waco?

Waco Glider Walk Around (http://www.arcair.com/awa01/501-600/awa588-WacoGlider-Boyd/00.shtm)

Why the wood chock between the rudder pedals and the steering/control wheel? Funny how the brain works but it just reminded me (and completely unrelated) of the Waterfall investigation.

Waterfall rail accident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall_rail_accident)

Glider?
Interesting control lock

[evansb]

Yes, it is a WACO glider. Identify the model and name.

Identify the model and name. Sounds like AviaQuiz mate. :)

So, definitely a Waco (manufacturer).
I was thinking CG-4A (model).

I will venture it's a Xian MA-600 the glass cockpit version of the MA-60?

[PH-JPC]

I think it's a Consolidated B-32 Dominator?

[sabredog]

Your thought is correct,aviate1138.
YHC.

[aviate1138]

Thanks Sabredog, it has to be Open House as I am without any cockpit images that haven't already been noted in the current list.

[MReyn24050]

[evansb]

Thank you Terence. What a way to fly!

Here is the next challenge: (not so much a cockpit photo, more of a cabin view)
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/CARAVAN_IN_THE_SKY.jpg

[Noyade]

Stab.

The Wilson Explorer with twin engines?

[aviate1138]

That is Avid's Mr Wilson's Private Explorer or Jeremy Clarkson's favourite caravan?

Beaten by one minute - still the Aussie's have got to win something...... :)

[evansb]

It is not the amphibious piston twin. Try again. You chaps make it difficult to award a winner..

[Noyade]

still the Aussie's have got to win something...... http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/smile.gif:(.........

[evansb]

Okay, it is a Private Explorer, but the single engine turbine amphibian version.
I'll give Noyade control.
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/6896960149_5843b54312_b1.jpg

[Noyade]

I'll give Noyade control.Well I'm not sure why mate? It was aviate1138 that mentioned the Private Explorer.

(Must be like the Tardis - bigger on the inside?)

Want control Mr Aviate? :)

still the Aussie's have got to win something...... :)I assumed you were talking about the Olympics. :)

[Noyade]

Well, all I have is an outy not an inny...

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/1418/img147t.jpg (http://img13.imageshack.us/i/img147t.jpg/)

[aviate1138]

Noyade said

"I assumed you were talking about the Olympics." :)

Yes Mr Noyade I was and you got to the Explorer before me anyway and I have nothing to offer and you and Mel and evansb and sabredog and a few more are in a league of your own. I get the rare opportunity and the Olympics jest was because I have a mate in Sydney who bent my ear before the games and suggested we Brits would be eclipsed by so many Southern teams that we would be lucky to get into Gold double figures. You were the only Antipodean target in view. No offence intended. :)

[Noyade]

You were the only Antipodean target in view. No offence intended. http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/smile.gifG'day mate. Fair enough and no offence taken whatsoever. Yes, there were all sorts of medal tally count predictions here - typical media hype - and now the 'blamestorming', head-rolling, inquiries will begin.
Of far more interest to me is the scenery. My eyes tended to focus on your countryside and historic buildings (except in the Women's Beach Volleyball). Simply beautiful looking country. Particularly loved the areas where the bicycle road races were held. It isn't all smoke and mirrors, is it? The rest of the country looks just as good? Be proud.

Have another look above mate. The "unsung hero" of the Battle of Britain.

Cheers.

[aviate1138]

Hawker Hurricane is a possibility?

[Noyade]

Sure is. Hawker Hurricane I. Your control. :ok:

[aviate1138]

Thanks N.

It has to be Open House.

Cheers......

[MReyn24050]

Here is one to keep thing moving:-
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Cockpitquiz444.jpg

[evansb]

Fairchild 24R ?

[MReyn24050]

You have it Bri. My source has it as the Fairchild UC61. However, the Fairchild Model 24, a four-seat, single-engine monoplane light transport aircraft was used by the United States Army Air Corps as the UC-61 and by the Royal Air Force. The Model 24 was itself a development of previous Fairchild models and became a successful civil and military utility aircraft.

I am not sure exactly which model the cockpit photograph portrays.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Fairchild_UC_61K-1.jpg

You have control

[evansb]

Thanks Mel. Here is the next challenge:

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/THE_DOOR_IS_OPEN.jpg

[Noyade]

Dicht?

German?

http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/7899/thedoorisopen.jpg (http://img706.imageshack.us/i/thedoorisopen.jpg/)

[evansb]

Nein sprechen de deutsch. Dutch?, German? Yah to both..

[Noyade]

Fokker F.II...?

[evansb]

Noyade, it is not the F.11. It is the rare, nearly unheard-of Fokker S.II primary trainer.. Don't confuse it with the post-war "bent-knee" S.11 primary trainer.

I'll give you control.
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/7585253828_3e211f7887_b1.jpg

[MReyn24050]

I will go for the Fokker S.I or TW-4 as tested by the US Army Air Service.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/foks1-1.jpg

Beaten to it the story of my life. :ok:

[evansb]

Mel, my cockpit photo depicts a parasol monoplane, but the following shot is a bi-plane. Your photo depicts a parasol monoplane that matches the wing struts of the cockpit photo.. I think you are correct. It must be the TW-4. Post #7468 is the Fokker S.II side-by-side, unequal span biplane trainer.

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Bri. A very interesting challenge. I am in the process of reading Weyl's book on Fokker. He was a very interesting man and at times somewhat of a loose cannon.
As Graeme started me down the correct path I have no problems with him taking the honours.

[Noyade]

I wasn't even close gents!? Apart from Fokker.

But thank you.

Sorry, but at the moment and considering the list, all I can come up with is an outside shot...

http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/6813/img144y.jpg (http://img853.imageshack.us/i/img144y.jpg/)

[Noyade]

British......

[MReyn24050]

Single engine monoplane 1930ish? DH 71 Tiger Moth VH-UNH possibly?

[Noyade]

DH 71 Tiger MothThat's the Moth mate. :ok:

Your control.

British registration (don't know the rest) with Hubert Broad at the controls.

http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/4594/img161u.jpg (http://img819.imageshack.us/i/img161u.jpg/)

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Graeme.
The D.H.71 was built in 1926 to investigate high-speed monoplane flight and to serve as a test bed for developing the D.H. Gipsy engine, a follow-on power plant to the Cirrus. For the era it employed an amazing degree of streamlining and was actually built "around" (rather than for) its test pilot, Hubert Broad Only two were built - G-EBQU and G-EBRV. The first and former was sent to Australia in 1930 and registered VH-UNH to Frank.K. Bardsley of Sydney on 20 January of that year. It crashed on 17 September 1930 whilst practicing for an air race after suffering engine failure on take-off, killing the pilot, Dave Smith, 20, registered owner of the Ryan B-1 G-AUIZ and the youngest commercial pilot in Australia at that time.

New challenge will be posted later.

[MReyn24050]

Something a bit more modern:-

[MReyn24050]

The "What Cockpit" list has been updated today. I have deleted all those cockpits that were part of the original "What Cockpit" thread, some 370 cockpits, as the thread is no longer accessible. The list now starts with those challenges submitted from the start of "What Cockpit II".

[The late XV105]

Extra 260?

[500 above]

Without doubt, an Extra 260.

[MReyn24050]

You have it "The late XV1052 :ok: It is indeed the Extra 260.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Extra260.jpg

You have control.

[The late XV105]

Thank you, MReyn24050!
I was pretty sure, with the stopwatches in my mind sealing it.

Here's one that I suspect will also go quite quickly

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t493/PPRUNE64/WhatCockpit/67d86d39.jpg

[SincoTC]

Morning The Late XV105 and welcome to the thread :ok:

A hurried coffee time stab and go!

I think that's an Aero L-39 Albatros ?

[The late XV105]

Thanks for the welcome! :ok:

I did say that I thought it would go quite quickly! :)
Well done.
It is a Aero-Vodochody L-39ZO Albatross of the Hungarian air force.

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t493/PPRUNE64/WhatCockpit/62530af9.jpg

You have control SincoTC.

[SincoTC]

Your welcome for the welcome :)

Here's the next cockpit:

http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n540/SincoSafe/TC_WzztCP046.jpg

[India Four Two]

Initially I thought Su-29, but the coaming is the wrong shape. Further research reveals it to be a Yak-54 ;)

[SincoTC]

Good research India Four Two, it is indeed the Yakovlev Yak-54 :D

http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n540/SincoSafe/yak54-i.jpg

India Four Two has control :ok:

[India Four Two]

Thanks STC.

I having some trouble with Photobucket. Please standby.

Problem solved:

[sabredog]

D.H. Vampire T-11?

[India Four Two]

Well done Terrence! I thought the French placards might add some uncertainty, but they didn't fool you. ;)

It is Brett Emeny's immaculate ex-Swiss Air Force T11, ZK-RVM
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/india42/2Vampiretaxi.png

I took the photo while taxying for takeoff at Tauranga in February, for my second-ever Vampire flight, after a gap of over forty years. I mentioned to a friend that the cockpit seemed much more cramped than I remembered. He very charitably suggested that perhaps I was flying a 7/8ths scale Vampire.:)

You have control.

[sabredog]

Many thanks,Simon.
The next;
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/mosquito633/Quiz161.jpg

[MReyn24050]

Very interesting aircraft. WWII Fighter or Fighter trainer possibly from the Axis powers?

[sycamore]

How`s about an IL-2..?

[sabredog]

Mel, you are correct in your assumptions.

Sorry,Sycamore, not the IL-2, and not Russian/Soviet.

[sycamore]

Adding a bit of Gallic,or garlic flavour...Dewoitine D-551..?

[sabredog]

Not French, Sycamore.

[India Four Two]

The altimeter appears to be in feet. Is that an important clue?

[aviate1138]

It's one of those lightweight Italian jobs? Ambrosini S.A.I.207/403

[sabredog]

Well done, Aviate1138. It is the Ambrosini S.A.I. 403.
YHC

[Noyade]

Do you have a cockpit Aviate?

[MReyn24050]

It has been over 48 hours since Aviate1138 solved the last one so to keep the thread moving I post the following:-
