What Cockpit ?

[Saab Dastard]

You are, Bert, you are!

[gas path]

Saab Dastard
Definately the Ilyushin Il-14 what threw me though was the lack of the 'desk' fans typical of Russian kit!
Like the Sat Nav sitting on the coaming

[JDK]

Messerschmitt Bf-110 going by the rudder pedal style...

[Bert Stiles]

Not the 110.

[JDK]

German, though, I reckon.

And not Messerschmitt, but Focke-Wulf - Fw-187...

*EDIT*
Or Fw-154.

Hmmm. I thought I was sure, then I wasn't certain...

[Bert Stiles]

Yes German, (rudder pedals, instrument fixings, etc, etc) but not 187 or 154 - according to my information anyway.

I think there's a big fat clue at the top.

[cringe]

Is it a Henschel Hs 129 ?

[Bert Stiles]

Jawohl.

Mit das sehr dick Panzerglas nicht war?

Alles deine Frau Cringe.

[cringe]

Yes, although the thickness of the windshield frame caught my eye first.

The next challenge might ring a bell for some of you:

[JDK]

Errr... Bell X-1?

[cringe]

Experimental, but not the X-1.

[Bert Stiles]

Is it the Leduc 021 ?

[cringe]

Not a Leduc. Neither French nor American. The cockpit is very cramped.

[Fris B. Fairing]

R&S Desford/Bobsleigh? (Although I can't imagine what it has to do with "bells")

[cringe]

No, but you are closer than the previous two guesses. It isn't British.

As for the initial hint, I thought someone would make a connection with a recent discussion... again, think cramped cockpits.

[MReyn24050]

The Ikarus 451?

[cringe]

Spot on, Mel. It's a museum photo of the Yugoslav Ikarus 451. You have control.

[MReyn24050]

Thank you cringe. Here is another easy one.

[Conan the Librarian]

The Aerocar?


Conan

[MReyn24050]

You are correct Conan

You have control
