What Cockpit? MK V

[MReyn24050]

Soko 522 perhaps? Yugoslavian with Pratt & Witney R-1340-AN-1 Wasp engine.

[Akubra]

Your good! :)

[evansb]

Yes it is a SOKO 522! :ok: Well done.:D Over to you.

[MReyn24050]

evansb.
Thanks, this one is somewhat older.

[evansb]

Arado Ar.69?

[MReyn24050]

Brian, Sorry not the Arado Ar.69.
Mel

[evansb]

Sabca S-40?

[MReyn24050]

Not the Belgium SABCA S-40 I am afraid. It was European though. Logging off will be on in the morning.

[evansb]

Is it a PZL L-2?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry not the PZL L-2 but it had it's first flight about the same time as the L-2.
Mel

[cringe]

Caproni Ca.100

[MReyn24050]

cringe. :ok: Well done. :D I thought if evansb didn't get it you would.
It is indeed the Caproni Ca.100
From a report on the Gianni Caproni Aircraft Museum:-
"The aeroplane, born in 1928 as an easy-to-drive aircraft with low fuel consumption, the "Caproncino" was widely used in flight schools until 1968. This aircraft integrates and widens the historical aeronautical collection on display in the precious permanent collection of the Caproni Museum: alongside the seaplane version of the Ca.100 model, is the land version belonging to the Historical Museum of Italian Military Aeronautics' collection. As well as the legendary aircraft freshly restored, its flying replica is on display made by the Professional Education Centre "G. Veronesi" of Rovereto on commission by an enthusiast benefactor from Trentino."
Here is a photograph of a Caproni Ca.100, captured by No.112 Sq at Agnone, August 1943, Caproni Ca.100 I-GUAS, one of five such trainers previously used by the Catania Aero Club, Sicily, of which three went to No. 112 Sq RAF, and one each to No. 3 and No. 450 Sq RAAF. It was flown at Agnone, August-September 1943 and was used for taking maintenance personnel on joy rides.

Mel

[cringe]

Thanks, Mel. Sorry for the delay, everyone. Here's my next challenge:

http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/6448/unkns4.jpg

[MReyn24050]

PZL-106A/ ACRE BR "KRUK" perhaps?

[cringe]

Sorry Mel, not a Kruk.

[cringe]

Clue: It's a biplane.

[evansb]

Is it eastern european? How many were built?

[cringe]

evansb,

Eastern European, yes. I couldn't find the production numbers on the net so I'm only aware of a prototype that first flew in the late 1980s. Another aircraft with a different engine type is (or was) planned.

[MReyn24050]

How about the WSK-Mielec M-15 Belphegor?

[cringe]

Mel, not the Belphegor. Not Polish.

[MReyn24050]

Just a very wild guess the Antonov AN-2M an agriculture aircraft for single pilot operation?

[cringe]

Sorry, not an Antonov variant.

[NZDP]

Tupolev Tu-54 ?

[cringe]

Not a Tu-54. Not Russian.

[Akubra]

So far its an eastern European biplane thats not Polish that first flew in the late 1980's.
Was it designed for agricultural use?

[cringe]

Yes. A different, much more successful aircraft type is being produced under licence by the same factory.

[evansb]

Was the mystery aircraft designed by IAR of Romania?

[cringe]

You are very close.

[DaveO'Leary]

??????????............

I know you guys are the best!!! Name the a/c. A word of warning, might not be your first idea?

DaveO

[evansb]

BAe (HS) 748 of Emerald Airways, perhaps G-ATMJ. Also, photo may have been reversed.

[simon niceguy]

Boeing 737-200 may be !!!

[aviate1138]

Boeing 737-200 may be !!!

I looked at the .jpg but decided not to cheat/ be made a fool by a rogue .jpg heading!
Then I wondered about Aviation Trader but decided no, then I thought Douglas DC-6 or similar???
Aviate 1138
No cockpit to offer but I am hooked on this thread. :)

[stevef]

Definitely not a DC6 or Budgie, despite the green cheat lines (Atlantique & Emerald). I can see Simon's smidgin of Boeing in there, though, with the windows and cockpit upper deck. Intrigued...

[treadigraph]

A bit of a diversion methinks - still, I'm game: NAMC YS-11?

[cringe]

Has everyone given up on guessing the Romanian crop duster type I posted? I hope not.

[stevef]

Oops, sorry - temporarily diverted! There's something reminiscent of a Yak there, Cringe. I'm probably way off course.

[evansb]

I have searched all my reference sources to no avail for the Romanian bi-plane.

[treadigraph]

Mine too (limited though they are...) Only thing I can begin to think of is perhaps they stuck a biplane configuration on the IAR 826 or 827? But I'm probably spraying the wrong field...

[cringe]

Not a Yak or an IAR 826/827 derivative.

OK, let's move on: It was the IAR AG-6, manufactured at Aerostar Bacau. A turboprop variant was also planned. The better known type mentioned is the Yak-52.

[Akubra]

I might take this opportunity to jump in with one.
Now if your subscribed to this thread, you might have had a good clue to what this craft is.


http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o131/acubra/cp3.jpg

cringe- That one was a doozy. I probably have over 3000 aircraft in books here and not one mention of the AG-6. So much for "The encyclopedia of world aircraft" .... Also I think I have used up my monthly download limit searching... :)

[treadigraph]

Blimey Cringe, that was a good one - looking at the first pic, wings out of Agcat, fuselage out of Thrush Commander, cowling and prop out of Yak 52, and undercarriage oout of Wilga... Must have been an orgy!

Second one look almost a ringer for the TP Agcat...

Akubra - crop duster I take it? A guess: PZL Kruk?

[Akubra]

Not the Kruk sorry treadigraph, but yes a crop duster.

[MReyn24050]

Transavia PL-12 Airtruk perhaps?
cringe. That was an excellent challenge which beat us all well done :D

[Akubra]

Correct. ;)
http://www.aamb.com.au/AIRTRUK.HTM
Im sure it is a biplane...

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Akubra. Would tend to agree with you as:-
Biplane -An airplane having two pairs of wings fixed at different levels, especially one above and one below the fuselage.

How much lift is provided by the lower wings of the PL12 Airtruk I am not sure but I am sure someone will advise us.

Unable to post as present as Photobucket is down for maintenance will post as soon as they are up and running again

[MReyn24050]

This is certainly not as difficult as our friend cringe's challenge was.:)

Mel

[con-pilot]

I really don't have a clue as to what aircraft, however, I love the two artificial horizons/flight directors next to each other. Talk about confusing if one had a soft failure.

Perhaps after this is solved someone will be able to tell me if there was a reason for the attitude instruments to be next to each other?

Surely the one on the right is not the stand-by?

[evansb]

Beriev Be-12 Chaika (Seagull) amphibian.

[MReyn24050]

Got it in one. It is the Beriev Be-12. Are you able to answer con-pilot's question?

You have control.
Mel

[evansb]

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

[MReyn24050]

Just a wild guess a Brewster SBA/SBN or Buccaneer?

[evansb]

Sorry Mel, not the SB2A Brewster Buccaneer.

[con-pilot]

Okay, so basically it was the stand-by.

Thanks Evan.

[stevef]

Might it be the F4F Wildcat, evansb?

[evansb]

Sorry, this one is not from Grumman's stable.

[SASless]

Douglas A-1D?

[evansb]

Sorry, this one is not from Douglas. It is an American built tail-dragger though.

[Kitbag]

F4U Corsair?

[evansb]

Sorry, not the F4U Corsair. The mystery aircraft was not as successful.

[aviate1138]

Sorry, not the F4U Corsair. The mystery aircraft was not as successful.


Hughes H-1?

[evansb]

Sorry, not the Hughes H-1. The mystery aircraft is from the 1950s.

[evansb]

More hints: The aircraft lost out on a design competition for the U.S. armed forces. Only 20 were produced, most going to the Saudia Arabian Air Force. Only 3 aircraft remain, all on the U.S. registry.

[MReyn24050]

Temco YT-35 'Buckaroo' perhaps?

[evansb]

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/-1.jpgSpot on Mel!:ok: Over to you.

[MReyn24050]

Many thanks, that was a great challenge. I apologise for the quality of this photograph but I am sure it will not last as long as yours.

Mel

[evansb]

Is it a flying boat?

[MReyn24050]

This one was not a flying boat or seaplane. It was european though.
Mel

[evansb]

Based on the elaborate canopy, and vertical bracing, is it the little known Belgian Renard R-32?

[MReyn24050]

:ok: :D There is no beating you. Well done, it is indeed the Renard R-32.
The single prototype R-32 was sold to the Spanish Republicans, but remained in Belgium.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/RenardR32.gif
You have control.
Mel

[evansb]

Thanks Mel. That R-32 looks a bit like a Lysander. Here is one somewhat newer and not as rare.


http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/shm10.jpg

[MReyn24050]

Interesting. Cockpit Canopy similar to the SIPA Minijet but I know it isnt the cockpit of the Minijet. Same era?

[evansb]

This aircraft first flew in 1956. Over 600 were produced.
The engine is American, but the airframe was designed and built elsewhere.

[MReyn24050]

DORNIER Do-27 perhaps?

[NZDP]

Bugger thats just what I was gonna say. Not fast, you're last I spose :ok:

[MReyn24050]

If it is correct, which I am sure it is, then please take the honour of submitting the next challenge.

Mel

[evansb]

Yes Mel, you are correct!:ok: The original prototype was actually built in Spain.
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/do27-d05.jpg

[MReyn24050]

Thanks for that I will let NZDP put the next challenge up if he has one.
Mel

[NZDP]

Thanks Mel ! This one should be easy :)


http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p194/NZDP/mini-1.jpg

[MReyn24050]

You are more than welcome. I think I know this one but will let someone else have a chance. Although I am probably miles away from being correct.

Mel

[evansb]

A Miles Aerovan, or a version thereof.

[NZDP]

Correct. over to you :D

[evansb]

Thanks NZDP, I enjoyed the research! Here is the next What Cockpit?

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/upf7.jpg

[Speedpig]

A Maule perhaps?.... a guess based on the pedals mostly

[evansb]

Sorry, not a Maule, same era, not quite as capable as the Maule.

[evansb]

Hint: Just over 200 of this model were produced.

[jabberwok]

From the Navion stable?

[evansb]

Sorry, not from the Navion stable, although the company had a connection with Navion. The company that produced this aircraft is not generally known for aircraft of this category.

[jabberwok]

North American?

[Ag2A320]

North American Rockwell Lark Commander 100/ Darter 100?

[evansb]

You are correct!:ok: Well done. :D An Aero Commander Lark 100-180 it is. This one was built in 1968. You have control.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/commander-lark.jpg

[evansb]

While we are awaiting Ag2A320's cockpit photo, could someone who has a cockpit photo available, please post it to keep things moving?:)

[MReyn24050]

1920s German biplane? Experimental?

[MReyn24050]

This aircraft saw service in WWI

[evansb]

Aviatik-Berg D.1?

[MReyn24050]

:D Well done evansb it is the Aviatik D-I Serial No 38-06.
You have control.

[evansb]

Thanks Mel. Anyone know what the DRUCK valve on the Aviatik's panel does? Here is the next cockpit:

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/94857.jpg

[MReyn24050]

Had the instruments been on the port side of the aircraft I would have said it was the Bristol 171 Sycamore Helicopter.

[evansb]

It is a Bristol 171 Sycamore HR.52 from the German Airforce.:ok: Well done Mel. You have control.

[MReyn24050]

Thanks for that, one learns something new every day in this Forum. When I first saw the photograph I was sure that it was a Bristol Sycamore but was thrown by the pilot's position at first I thought perhaps the photograph had got reversed when printed. Since your reply I find that the Pilot's psition was swapped when the Mk 14 was introduced.
The Bristol Type 171 was the first post-war british helicopter in production, and was manufactured at Filton and Weston-super-Mare.
Models:
Mk.1 - 2 seater, 450hp Pratt and Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior radial engine. First flight July 27 1947. Two prototypes (VL958 & VL963).
Mk.2 - 4 seater, 550hp Alvis Leonides 71 piston engine. First flight September 1949. Third prototype (VW905).
Mk.3 - as Mk.2 shorter nose, widened for 5 seats. (7 built)
HC Mk.10 - Mk.3 Ambulance version for Royal Air Force, with four doors (1 conversion)
HC Mk.11 - Mk.3 Army Communications version (4 built)
HR Mk.12 - Mk.3 Royal Air Force Coastal Command Air-Sea Rescue version (4 built)
HR Mk.13 - as HR Mk.12, with lengthened landing gear and winch (3 built)
HR Mk.14 - as HR Mk.12, with swapped pilot/co-pilot positions, and four doors (86 built)
HR Mk.14B - as HR Mk.14, for Force Aérienne Belge (Belgian Army) for use in the Congo (3 built)
HR Mk.50 - as HR Mk.12, with lengthened landing gear, for Royal Australian Navy (3 built)
HC Mk.51 - as HR Mk.14 for Royal Australian Navy (7 built)
Mk.52 - as HR Mk.14, for Luftwaffe/Marinesfleiger (West German Air Force/Navy) (50 built)
Mk.3A - Civil version of Mk.3, with extra baggage space (2 built)
Mk.4 - as Mk.3A, with lengthened landing gear, swapped pilot/co-pilot positions, and four doors. For B.E.A. (12 built, some converted to HR.14/HR.51)
First 95 were built at Filton, remaining built at Weston-super-Mare. 178 in total.

Ford "Tin Goose" ?

hmmmm.
I believe it to be neither the "Tin Goose", nor a Junkers JU-52

[aviate1138]

Not another Fokker F 10A is it?
Aviate1138
PS have no cockpit to offer sadly. Mel and evansb - you are the doggies gonads.

[MReyn24050]

:ok: You are correct it is a Fokker 10A. :D You state "Not another Fokker F 10A is it?" From my records I have no record of this appearing before, if it has I apologise and would appreciate details so I can update my records. However well done and if you are unable to post the next challenge the field is open to all.

Aviate 1138 muses....
I should have omitted the word "another" Then I thought of the F 10A, added that and didn't rub out the "another".
Sorry, too much late night Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon but it is a wonderful thread and I have no evidence the Fokker F 10A appeared before. Your records are correct Sir. :)

[MReyn24050]

"Sorry, too much late night Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon but it is a wonderful thread and I have no evidence the Fokker F 10A appeared before. Your records are correct Sir."
Thanks for that, I try to keep the records up to date but with the number of challenges since the thread started it is still easy to miss one and repeat it. Incidentally in June 2006 the Fokker F.VII was presented as a challenge on What Cockpit II. This aircraft was a single engined experimental design of 1924 and a high-winged monoplane, but Fokker modified it with two additional engines to enter (and win) the inaugural Ford Reliability Tour in 1925. Consequently the production versions F.VIIa/3m, F.VIIb/3m and F.10 all had three engines, and the aircraft became popularly known as the Fokker Trimotor.
Just read today that researchers have come up with another reason to savour a good red- as it could help slow the ageing process. So keep up the late night habit.
Mel

[MReyn24050]

Hi Clint.
:) I am surprised to see your challenge still standing. I would have thought it would have shaken a few memories.
Mel

[stevef]

Hmmm, I'd have said one from the Douglas Commercial four-engined stable except for the control yokes. The rudder trim is very DC6/7-like.

[evansb]

..I've got a photo of one with fuzzy dice hanging from the compass.

[MReyn24050]

Seen that one too. A pair of deuce no less!
Mel

[Speedpig]

I can't find a cockpit picture (yet) of what I think it is, so I 'll plump for the "Spruce Goose"

[Speedpig]

Found a pic immediately after posting.
It ain't Spruce Goose

[stevef]

C124 Globemaster? If it is, can someone else put a picture up to keep things going as I'm having trouble with Photobucket.
Steve.

[Mr_Grubby]

Yes indeed, a C-124.

Mel actually got it straight away and sent me a PM.
What a gentleman.

[MReyn24050]

Not the T6 Harvard I am afraid.

[con-pilot]

BT-13? I believe the nick-name for it was the 'Vibrator'.

[MReyn24050]

Sorry this one was not a Vultee BT-13 'Valiant'. This aircraft was not from the USA.
Mel

[stevef]

Commonwealth Wirraway perhaps

[MReyn24050]

Hi stevef.
This one was not from Commonwealth.
Mel

[MReyn24050]

The aircraft in Post#622 came several years after the T6 Texan and Vultee BT-13 'Valiant' and was nowhere near as successful as either of these aircraft. It was of European origin and first flew early 1950s.
Mel

[Akubra]

Morane-Saulnier M.S.477.01 maybe?

[MReyn24050]

Hi Akubra.
Sorry, not the Morane-Saulnier M.S.477.01.Similar aircraft but not French and this one had a radial engine.
Mel

[MReyn24050]

Still no takers? I am sorry I do not have a complete intrument panel to show. The aircraft concerned was similar in size and performance as the North American T6 Texan, but was designed and built in Europe early 1950s, went into service but was withdrawn late 50s due to accidents.

Hi Mel, The Valmet Vihuri fits that description.

FYI - The Name that Plane! quiz at www.dauntless-soft.com/AviaQuiz/ (http://www.dauntless-soft.com/AviaQuiz/)

de Havilland Twin Otter? In the unlikely event I'm right, I don't have another cockpit.

Going by the windscreen and side windows I first thought of the Chase YC-122A Avitruc but will go for the Hiller X-18 which used the Chase fuselage.

Quote:

The cockpit windscreen and windows led me to think that the aircraft was a Fairchild Provider C-123 but the panel was quite different. I then recalled that in order to save money Hiller had adapted the fuselage of the Chase YC-122C (the forerunner of the C-123) as the X-18's fuselage. After further research I was able to confirm that evansb's challenge was in fact the Hiller X-18.

[Akubra]

I was going to say Ford Tri-Motor but it has been posted before.

Thanks for the list cringe!

[MReyn24050]

Sorry not the Ford Tri-Motor.
Mel

[Akubra]

Boeing 80A maybe?

[MReyn24050]

This one was not from the USA.

[Mr_Grubby]

Is it Italian ?

C.

[MReyn24050]

Sorry for the delay. No this bird was not from Italy.

Original post: Is your latest cockpit from this aircraft?

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/varig-05.jpg

[MReyn24050]

:) No evansb certainly not the Avro 543 Baby.:)

[MReyn24050]

Well done :ok: It is indeed the Messerschmitt M-20.
I am sorry you must have posted the correct answer whist I was responding to your odd post, which you now seems to have edited.
You do have control.:ok:
Messerschmitt M.20

[evansb]

Odd indeed. I have notified my internet provider of a possible hijack. Regardless, here is the new mystery cockpit.

[MReyn24050]

Not sure what is happening? Your post #676 has been changed once again.

[evansb]

Mel, The Varig M-20 profile was my last original post prior to the posting of the new mystery cockpit.
I have a new password now.

[tiger26isfinals]

Zlin of some description maybe ?

[evansb]

Sorry, not a Zlin.

[evansb]

Mystery cockpit clue: the aircraft first flew in 1966.

[MReyn24050]

Interesting, trainer, sliding canopy with central hand grip,single engine first flew mid-1960s.Engine possibly inline?

[On-MarkBob]

Sia Marchetti 260SF or TP

[evansb]

Sorry, not a SIAI-Marchetti 260. This aircraft was not built in Europe.

[evansb]

Sorry for the delay. This aircraft has a horizontally-opposed engine.

[MReyn24050]

Clutching at straws now, the Aerospace CT-4A Airtrainer perhaps?

[evansb]

Sorry, not the Pacific Aerospace CT-4 AirTrainer. The mystery aircraft was a success only in the country of its origin. Approximately 150 airframes were built.

[evansb]

Further clues to the mystery aircraft: Production ceased in 1980, and as late as 1999, 90 of the type were in operation in the country of its origin.

[MReyn24050]

How about the Neiva 612 Universal (T25)?
http://eu.airliners.net/photos/middle/1/0/7/0690701.jpg

[evansb]

Yes, you are correct!:ok: :D Neiva did manage to sell 10 T-25 Universals to Chile, but they soon re-sold 4 of them to Paraguay. You have control.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/fab-orbat-t25-piras.jpg

[MReyn24050]

Thanks for that. It was a great challenge and was the bar and hand grip that helped me find it. I understand this handle was for closing the canopy and part of the locking mechanism. I am sure this one will not be as difficult.

Thanks, Mel. I haven't been around as much lately as I used to and I'm happy to find this thread in great shape. :) Next challenge is not too conspicuous - hope it hasn't been done yet:

Miles M.12 Mowhawk?

[cringe]

Sorry, not the Mohawk. This one came much later.

[evansb]

UTVA Aero-3?

[treadigraph]

Nord 3202?

[MReyn24050]

I think that evansb has it. It is the UTVA Aero-3 I think you will find.

There is no beating you, guys. Well done evansb, UTVA Aero-3 (N9016H (http://www.courtesyaircraft.com/N9016H.htm)) it was. :ok: Your turn.

Thanks cringe! The Aero-3 is an aircraft I would like to fly.
Next up..

[aviate1138]

Curtiss Eagle?, Early 20's Air Ambulance - struck down with ManFlu I was just looking up Curtiss aircraft from the Pusher onwards. Must do the Lottery. No cockpit to offer and getting massive sympathy from SWMBO as her Valentine's Day flowers have arrived! :)

[evansb]

Curtiss B-2 bomber?

[Mr_Grubby]

evansb.

Simon,actually my youngest son, is unable to get to post at the moment.
But he tells me that it is indeed a Curtiss XB-2.

Mel, he is not able to read his PMs either.


Clint.

[MReyn24050]

Not a problem but thanks. It is great to see Simon is following in his father's footsteps.
Mel

[evansb]

Thanks gentlemen. Here is the next cockpit:

"Not a problem but thanks. It is great to see Simon is following in his father's footsteps.

For my sins!!!!!!!

[con-pilot]

Looks like a Howard DGA, but I cannot figure out the series.

If is not a Howard and it is a US built aircraft I have another choice.

[evansb]

Sorry, it is not a Howard, however you are correct that it is an American built aircraft.

[treadigraph]

I think it's a Monocoupe -a 90 or a 110? Lovely little aeroplanes!

[evansb]

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/Monocoupe10.jpgRight on!:ok: :D It is indeed an award-winning Monocoupe 110. Tricky little thing.. Over to you.

[evansb]

careful..she bites!
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/Monocoupe2011020Clipwing20Special-1.jpg

[treadigraph]

Believe it or not I've got a Paul Lindberg 1/48 scale kit of a Monocoupe 110 Special in the stash - solid windows etc... think it is considerably older than I am!

Anyway, afraid I don't have anything - if someone else would like to step in please?

[simon niceguy]

http://www.btinternet.com/~simon.gurry/Dadsphotos/cockpit-12.jpg
No takers yet ? Hope no one minds if I have another go !!
This is easy.

[oncemorealoft]

Northrop F5 Freedom Fighter?

[simon niceguy]

Nah !
But you're on the right lines.

Si.

[MReyn24050]

Boeing T-45A Goshawk perhaps?

[simon niceguy]

Correct Mel.
Dad warned me about you !!!!!

Si.

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Simon
I try to give others a chance, I will be honest I was not sure about that one. Like oncemorealoft I thought it was the Northrop F5 Freedom fighter. I am sure this one will not last long.

[treadigraph]

Mel, too obvious I'm sure is a T6 rear cockpit....?

[Akubra]

The twin bracing wires in the top right of the photo should narrow it down. :confused:

[stevef]

Boeing PT17?

[treadigraph]

I missed that! Too much sauce... still I'm none the wiser...

[MReyn24050]

Sorry, neither the T6 nor the Boeing PT17.
Mel

[evansb]

Mel, is it a "Stieglitz"?
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/061.jpg

[MReyn24050]

:ok: You have it, it is indeed the rear cockpit of the Focke Wulf FW-44 Stieglitz (Goldfinch).:D
You have control
Mel

[evansb]

Thanks Mel. Here is the next cockpit:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/maltamiss.jpg

[MReyn24050]

My first thoughts were that it was possibly the Convair Sea Dart but the canopy was totally different. I would that the Avro CF-105 Arrow seems to fit the bill as that certainly had a split canopy.
Yes it is definately the Avro CF-105 Arrow.
Mel

[evansb]

You are correct Mel!:ok: Well done. Over to you.
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/41.jpg

[MReyn24050]

Thanks for that Brian. I understand that all copies of the aircraft were destroyed and only part of a cockpit assembly was saved for posterity.

Here is a nice easy one for a Sunday afternoon.

[pigboat]

There's a recently-completed replica of the Avro Arrow in the Toronto Aerospace Museum (http://www.iamaw.ca/events/avro_arrow/arrow_e.html). Looks nice. :ok:

[MReyn24050]

:ok: You have indeed identified it as Serial No 25071, however it is not a Focke-Wulf it is the Bucker Bu 181 Bestmann before restoration as I am sure you know.
Glenn Lacey purchased and operated the aircraft in the UK from 31st May 2003 to 31st May 2004 under its German Registration D-EDUB. In June 2004 the German registration was cancelled and the aircraft re registered as G-GLSU.
You have control :D

[Tiger_mate]

Ladies, Gents, apologies in advance if this one has been done before, as I have not been following this thread since its inception novelty many moons ago, and there is too much for me to review it all.

That said: Give this one a go, the clues are there:
http://www.artistic.flyer.co.uk/dohgoodtry.jpg

[stevef]

Suggestive of a Boeing B17...

[MReyn24050]

Bristol Type 171 Sycamore Helicopter perhaps?

[Mr_Grubby]

Dornier Flying Boat ?

C.

[Speedpig]

I'm with Mel.
Bristol Sycamore.

[Tiger_mate]

Mel gets it.
Bristol Sycamore at the Manchester Air Museum.

[MReyn24050]

It is a european aircraft

[jabberwok]

Just to get the ball rolling I'll have a stab at a Klemm.

[On-MarkBob]

Is it a Klemm 35?

[MReyn24050]

It is not a Klemm but you are correct in country of origin
