What Cockpit? MK VI

[RegDep]

Doesn't look too much different from my previous post, a bit younger though… But not much bigger - maybe even smaller.

Will be off line now for the weekend, Wanted just to comment :)

[sycamore]

Fieseler Storch...OH if correct...

[MReyn24050]

Possibly the Slepcev Storch experimental lightsport aircraft,

[Noyade]

Slepcev Storch

:ok:

All yours Mel!

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Graeme. here is the next:-

[Noyade]

Hi Mel, your challenge is getting pretty close to the bottom of the Thread Contents page, so...
A scan from Aeroplane Monthly?
British?

[MReyn24050]

Hi Greame
Yes it is British, I am not sure were I found it.

[evansb]

A.B.C. Robin ?

[MReyn24050]

Hi Bri. Sorry for the delay, another quiz took my attention away. You are of course correct. It is the A.B.C. Robin :D:ok:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/abc_robin_1.jpg
You have control.

[evansb]

Thanks Mel. Tempus fugit.:) Here is the next mystery cockpit. (From a vintage photograph)
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/WCP110329.jpg

[evansb]

Time for a clue: An example of the mystery aircraft is presently housed in a U.K. museum.

[sycamore]

LVG ?.....

[evansb]

No. It is British built. It was the most successful model for the company in the pre-WW.II.

[Harley Quinn]

AW Siskin?

[evansb]

Not the AW Siskin. The mystery ship is a bit older.

[evansb]

Here is the mystery aeroplane; The Short Type 184
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/Short_Type_184_from_FlightGlobal_Archive2.jpg

OPEN HOUSE

[MReyn24050]

Great challenge Bri. Pity no takers. Let us hope this one does better:-
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Cockpitquiz376.jpg

[Noyade]

Mel, I'm not a cockpit man but why is the control column and pedals so far to the left?!

[MReyn24050]

The aircraft was designed for a two man crew. This version may have been radio training version.

[sycamore]

Something from Deutschland ?

[MReyn24050]

It certainly did.

[evansb]

Just guessing...a Heinkel He.115 ?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry for the delay this one was not a Heinkel machine.

[evansb]

Time for my daily guess; Blohm und Voss Ha.140 ?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry Bri, not the Blohm und Voss Ha.140. This aircraft only had a limited number built and was described by one source as a multi-purpose aircraft.
Mel

[Kitbag]

Focke Wulf Fw58 Weihe?

[MReyn24050]

Not the Focke Wulf Fw58 Weihe Kitbag.

[dash7fan]

Arado 77 ?

[MReyn24050]

Not the Arado 77 but a similar type.

[aviate1138]

How about a Siebel Si 204? - a desperate attempt but there so many "Real" cockpit spotters on this thread! :)

[MReyn24050]

aviatte1138, the Siebel Si 204 is again a similar aircraft but not the one shown in the challenge photograph.

[dash7fan]

Ago Ao 192 "Kurier" ?

[MReyn24050]

You have it dash7fan.:ok:. It is the Ago Ao192 "Kurier".

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/ago_ao-192.jpg

You have control.

[aviate1138]

Temp thread drift

I notice Mel and dash7fan and aviate1138 are all the same age. June 29th for Aviate

Good to see these old fogies are still into cockpits. :)

Well done dash7fan.

[dash7fan]

Thanks aviate and Mel. I am looking from time to time into cockpits, but you must know when it is time to leave the actual cockpit and change to the internet.

Sorry nothing to submit so open house.

rgs dash7fan

[MReyn24050]

Here is another one to keep the thread going.
Mel

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Cockpitquiz377.jpg

[MReyn24050]

No takers! First flight early 1940s.

[dash7fan]

Junkers 290 ???

[MReyn24050]

Not the Junkers 290. This one is not from Germany.
Mel

[evansb]

Better hurry, for I hear Lightning Mate is looking for a new thread to pounce on.:)

[MReyn24050]

Hi Bri. Yes I noticed he got a little upset the other day.

[RegDep]

Upset? He's on a sulking spree.

[Noyade]

Not the Junkers 290.

How about the 390 then Mel?

[MReyn24050]

Not the 390, Graeme. One source says the aircraft was based on the DC4!

[Noyade]

Ah So...the wrong bad guys, Japanese?

Nakajima G5N Shinzan...?

[MReyn24050]

That is the one Graeme. :ok:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/nakajima_g5n.jpg

You have control.

[Noyade]

Thanks Mel!

[MReyn24050]

Graeme. Check PMs.
Mel

[SincoTC]

G'day Graeme :) Too obvious indeed!

Messerschmitt Me 264 (V1)?

[Noyade]

Too obvious indeed!

Yeah, I guess so Trevor. All yours mate! :ok:

[SincoTC]

Thanks Graeme; Well that's what you called the image!

I don't think this one will hang around for long!

http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n540/SincoSafe/TC_WzztCP007.jpg

[MReyn24050]

Oxygen "Blinker" gauge on the side panel to the top right of the main panel would indicate possibly an aircraft of late 1940s or early 1950s and perhaps a US training aircraft?

[SincoTC]

Good morning Mel,

Not a trainer and it's later than that, but as the manufacturer did make training aircraft, perhaps they used something they had on the shelf!!

[sycamore]

American, possibly an X-plane...c/s / tail no.41620 ?,,,single jet.

[SincoTC]

Hi sycamore,

Yes, yes, yes and yes!

Well spotted, I considered taking that plate off the image, so my initial clue when I launched the challenge will probably hold true :ugh:

[Noyade]

X-13......?

[SincoTC]

Good evening Graeme,

Well, it certainly "hung" around for you mate! Hard luck sycamore, you were nearly there, you can have my :ugh: if you like!!

It is the Ryan X-13 Vertijet

Noyade has control :ok:

[Noyade]

Thanks Trevor!

Well, it certainly "hung" around for you mate! Got sidetracked, I thought the "Bunker Oxygen Flow Indicator" was something to do with rocket propulsion...:(:)

New...

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/202/onemore1398122.jpg (http://img84.imageshack.us/i/onemore1398122.jpg/)

[sycamore]

I got called by `management` before I had time to look back at the `yoo-tube` videos ....!

[Noyade]

Oxygen "Blinker" gauge

Ahhh....Blinker, not Bunker.

Sycamore, how can you tell from Trevor's photo it's a single engine jet? I need lessons on cockpit identification.

[MReyn24050]

Experimental aircraft possibly?

[evansb]

Bell X-14 ? Thanks Mel!

[MReyn24050]

No problem Bri. I think it must have been a early panel during build.

[Noyade]

Bell X-14All yours Bri ! :ok:

According to the caption that accompanied my photo above it was a cockpit built for two but the limited thrust-to-weight ratio never allowed it.

http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/2125/bellx149574556.jpg (http://img841.imageshack.us/i/bellx149574556.jpg/)

[evansb]

Thank you. I've seen a photo of an X-14 sitting in a dusty corner of a museum. Speaking of museums, here is the next one:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/WCP110412.jpg

[sycamore]

I`ll start with European,twin piston,possibly another test aircraft...is the pink hue just sunlight or not ?

[MReyn24050]

Complete stab in the dark based on the cockpit window layout. The Maerc Sarl H-OO.

[Noyade]

Complete stab in the dark Damn you're good Mel!

The colour, top dial layout, acute canopy angle and even the chopper tail...all seems to match...

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/6489/0960607.jpg (http://img696.imageshack.us/i/0960607.jpg/)

[MReyn24050]

You are too kind Greame, it was just luck trying to match the canopy structure from aircraft in museums.
The aircraft is also known as the Hirsch H-100. I have just found Brian's photo under Hirsch H-100. It is a very interesting aircraft as this other photograph shows.

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

[evansb]

Mel is correct. :ok:The Hirsch MAeRC H-100. Your control.

[MReyn24050]

Thank you Bri. That was a great challenge, another aircraft I knew nothing about before researching your photograph. :ok:
Here is the next one:-
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Cockpitquiz378.jpg

[Kitbag]

One of those damn dangerous German things- Bachem Natter?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry kitbag, this one was not a German nasty thing.

[sycamore]

Russian possibly..?

[MReyn24050]

Not Russian a bit further East.

[sycamore]

Chinee takeawy...or Ah So ?

[MReyn24050]

sycamore, not from the takeawy shopee, keep going East.

[Noyade]

keep going East.

The USA?

Looks like a very tight fit in that cockpit Mel. A very small aircraft? My stab would be the Bell XP-77...?

[MReyn24050]

Graeme. Not the USA that is much t0o far east from China.
Be back on in the morning. Have a good day.
Mel

[Noyade]

Morning Mel.

OK then, I spun the globe too fast, Japanese? The controls on the port side of the fuselage...are they for the landing gear? Hopefully not, as I'll stab again with the Nakajima Ki-27...?

[MReyn24050]

Right country Graeme, Japan. But not the Nakajima Ki-27.

[evansb]

Kyushu J7W Shinden ?

[MReyn24050]

Well done Bri.:ok::D. You have it, it is indeed the Kyushu J7W Shinden

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/800px-A_prototype_of_J7W_Shinden.jpg

You have control.

[evansb]

Thanks Mel. I read that a jet powered version of the J7W was planned. Here is the next mystery cockpit:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/WCP110413.jpg

Clue time. Here is a graphic of the complete instrument panel:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/WCP110414.jpg

[fhi2003]

This Plane was designed by my father and was called Sun Ray. There was a two seater and a single seater. It could land/take off on water. It could be taken apart and slipped into a trailer in 20mins and it also could be flown by remote control. It was made of compsite and we had to line it with aluminum foil to be seen on radar. This picture is from 1987 ish. The Smithsonian has one in their archives and when My father sold the business and the remaining aircrafts and designs the sale had alot of Gov't attachments on who and where it could be sold too. He tried to sell it to the Gov't to be drone type aircraft plus it could be crated and air dropped assembled very quickly. They said there was no need for an aircraft like this......my how times have changed ;o)

[evansb]

Welcome to the thread fhi2003:) Sorry, not the SUN RAY. Fascinating story. Looking forward to the photograph when you are able to post same.

[Noyade]

SUN RAY.See page 202/203 on this thread! :ok:

[evansb]

Another clue: The aircraft had folding wings.

[MReyn24050]

The Nakajima J9Y perhaps?

[evansb]

Yes, Mel, the Nakajima J9Y, a.k.a. Kikka is korrect. :DYou have kontrol.

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Bri, a great challenge. Here is something a little older:-

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Cockpitquiz379.jpg

[Noyade]

Evening Mel.

Polish?

Or are we still in Japan?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry for the delay Graeme. This one is not from Japan or Poland however it is European.
Mel

[Noyade]

Have you gone back to Germany?

Parasol?
Inline engine?

Focke Wulf Fw 56 ?

[MReyn24050]

Right Country. Wrong type of aircraft, this was not a parasol winged aircraft but it did have an inline engine.
Mel

[Noyade]

Wrong type of aircraftWell that's a shame mate. I was going to try for a Gotha 145 next.

German.
Biplane.
Pre-1939?
Minimal controls? Appears pedestrian in performance, but not a trainer.
Inline engine.

Hmmm....

Not a Luftwaffe aircraft then?

[asw28-866]

Perhaps the Arado Ar.66?

In the unlikely event I'm right, it will have to be OH.

'866

[MReyn24050]

Sorry chaps not from Gotha or Arado.
Taking up Graeme's analysis:-

German. - YES
Biplane. _ Yes
Pre-1939?_ Yes earlier though late 1920s early 1930s.
Not a trainer. - Was intended as a trainer, I can find no evidence that it entered service with the Luftwaffe.
Inline engine. - Yes mostly BMW.

[Noyade]

late 1920s early 1930s.

G'day Mel.

One of the more famous German aircraft companies (Junkers, Messerschmitt etc) or a "rare" one?....;)

German Aircraft (http://histaviation.com/German_Aircraft.html)

[RegDep]

Heinkel He 49?

[Tacklebury]

Albatross L-74 or 75?
Tacklebury

[MReyn24050]

Sorry for the delay. Tacklebury has it. It is the Albatros L-75
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/albatros_l75.jpg
You have control Tacklebury.

[Tacklebury]

Thank you,Mel. An absolute miracle on my part,and entirely due to your excellent clues.
Here is the next challenge,but if you consider it to be of poor quality, I am more than happy to withdraw it;

[rory2907]

Scratch that, how about the Douglas B-18 Bolo?

[SincoTC]

Good evening rory2907 and welcome to the thread; you've got it, the Douglas B-18 Bolo, well done :ok:!

http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n540/SincoSafe/D18_Bolo.jpg

Can you post and monitor a new challenge? If not, then please declare Open House before you turn in :)

[SincoTC]

As it's now the early hours of Friday morning in Oz and rory2907 is almost certainly :zzz: ZZZzzzzzz for several more hours yet and didn't respond to my question/request made 8:10 GMT this morning, I'll assume he can't or doesn't wish to post his own challenge and declare an Open House.


Rory; you're more than welcome to compete in this thread, but please just add "Open House if correct" to your answer in future (unless you do want to submit a challenge) and it will prevent a stalled thread while we wait to hear your wishes! See the Silhouette Challenge Guidelines below for the general thread etiquette and list of already used subjects to avoid challenge duplication :ok:

As for MReyn's challenge, I'm clueless!

[MReyn24050]

sycamore. East European but not Polish.

[sycamore]

Could be a Galeb,or Orao...?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry neither a Soko Galeb nor a Soko Orao.

[evansb]

Guessing a Mikoyan I-270 ??

[MReyn24050]

Wrong guess Bri, it is not the Mikoyan I-270.
Mel

[evansb]

Here is another guess, the original Yak-30 ?

[MReyn24050]

Hi Bri. This guess is no better than your last, the subject aircraft is not the Yak- 30.
Mel

[sycamore]

Is it Russian or from somewhere else ?

[Noyade]

C'mon Mel, it's Easter Sunday...be a Samaritan and put a pin in the appropriate country! :)

http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4497/revisedeasterneuropemap.jpg (http://img191.imageshack.us/i/revisedeasterneuropemap.jpg/)

[MReyn24050]

Give that man his Easter Egg. The subject aircraft was from Russia.
Mel

[Noyade]

That's the spirit Mel! :)

Hmmm...some early Sukhoi jets have that oval section on the front of the cockpit.

Sukhoi T-3?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry for the delay Graeme. Hectic day yesterday building the set for the play was shattered by 23.30 and hit the sack.
Unfortunately this one was not from the Sukhoi stable.
Mel

[evansb]

Time for my daily guess. Is it the Lavochkin La.156 ?

[MReyn24050]

Hi Bri. You have the correct manufacturer but this aircraft was not the La.156 or it predecessors the La.152 or 154.
Mel

[aviate1138]

How about the La 250 Anakonda? If by any chance it is correct then it should be Open House as everything bar the type number was already posted! :)

[MReyn24050]

aviate1138. Not the La 250 Anakonda I am sorry.
Mel

[evansb]

My earlier guess was a Lavochkin La.150, but as you can see, I changed it to the La.156. Is it indeed a La.150 ?

[MReyn24050]

Bri. You are getting there by process of elimination. However, this aircraft is not the La.150 it is the La.15.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Lavochkin_La-15.jpg

You have control.

[evansb]

Thanks Mel! That was a fun and frustrating challenge. I notice the hoop on the gun-sight is visible on your La-15 photo. An obvious clue I over-looked. Here is the next challenge:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/WCP_EASTER_MONDAY.jpg

[Harley Quinn]

All that dynotape on the panel makes me think it's British, the high coaming puts me in mind of something rotary, but the thing seems to have flaps and a single piston engine so maybe a Fairey Jet Gyrodyne?

[evansb]

Sorry, not British. Older than the Fairey Jet Gyrodyne.

[evansb]

Clue time: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/4590521642_676f63dc5f_o1.jpg

[con-pilot]

As hard as I try, I cannot remember the name of the aircraft. If it is one I'm thinking about it is/was;

US manufacture.

High wing

Two place, side by side.

A bit tricky to land. (Well, at least for me it was.)

Radial engine. (Could have been a Warner.)

Had the Coupe in the name. (I think.)


I tried looking it up on the Internet and failed miserably. :(



Oh, and we're talking about me flying one a hell of a long time ago. :p

[evansb]

Hey con-pilot, you are correct on all points except the coupe.

[con-pilot]

Hey con-pilot, you are correct on all points except the coupe.

Aw you're killing me man.

(Okay braincells, wake up.)

[con-pilot]

I GOT IT!

I think.

A Luscombe Phantom One?


If so, open house.

[evansb]

con-pilot is correct:ok: As he says, it is OPEN HOUSE.

[MReyn24050]

As Con-pilot has given Open House here is the next:-
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Cockpitquiz382.jpg

[Agaricus bisporus]

It doesn't look symmetrical. Something by Blohm & Voss? Plus the haitcut, of course...

[MReyn24050]

Agaricus bisporus.
Certainly from Germany but not from Blohm & Voss. The cockpit is, as you say, asymmetrical.
Mel

[Noyade]

The cockpit is, as you say, asymmetrical.

Hi Mel.

Is the cockpit offset to port on the fuselage? Luftwaffe aircraft?

[MReyn24050]

Hi Graeme.
Yes, as can be seen from the photograph the pilot was offset to port and the canopy constructed accordingly. The aircraft was not produced in large numbers and used by both Lufthansa and the Luftwaffe.
Mel

[Noyade]

Junkers Ju 160?

Two continents involved. Two uses - civilian and military.

Continental powered Katana C1, built in London Ontario.

Over to you :D

[clunckdriver]

Lets make it open house, Im up to my eyeballs in downed trees after our little blow on Thursday, lost our power for a day and have enough wood on the ground to build a "Spruce Goose"!We only got the tail end of it but over three hundred known dead to our South. Back to the subject, many of us who operated DA20s at our flight schools feel that the Continentel engine and a fixed pitch prop have spoiled the aircraft, it was great training for the student to start day one with a CS prop, and once we learned all the tricks our Rotax engines were good for 3500hrs {on condition} The version with the 100 H/P Rotax is a great little airplane.

[sycamore]

Early Anson...Open House if correct

[SincoTC]

I don't know the rules of this thread, but I thought that I would submit this photograph

Welcome to the thread NGAY :)

I'm sure seacue didn't notice it as he's pretty hot on these cockpits, but one little tip you need to know; always rename your image before uploading it, as yours reveals "/Tail-take-off/Anson1cockpit.jpg" ;)

You also need to come back to confirm the ID and declare an Open House as seacue requested, otherwise the thread is stalled :ok:

I did send NGAY a PM about the rules...but didn`t check the `properties`...!

Amiot 354 ??

[sabredog]

Sorry,Dash7fan,not an Amiot 354.

[India Four Two]

sabredog, nice to see you on the thread again.

Judging by what looks like a non-metric altimeter, I am going to suggest something exotic from the USA.

[sabredog]

Thank you for your kind words,India Four Two.
No,not very exotic, nor from the U.S.A.
Did you eventually get to visit Manila and Corregidor?

[TxTD]

Antonov An-30?

Edit* Never mind not Russian

Cant Z.1018

[sabredog]

Correct,TxTD. Well done.
You have control.

The one i posted is a repost. So it's open house. Sorry for the wait

[MReyn24050]

As it is open house here is the next:-

[TxTD]

It looks German, a Focke Wulf Fw 58?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry TXTD this one was not from Germany.

[sycamore]

TxTD,For interest what was the repost,a Curtiss Hawk ?

[ozbeowulf]

That's a good question, Sycamore...

I'm thinking a CAC Boomerang, myself.

[MReyn24050]

TxTD's Challenge photograph at Post# 5449 is as ozbeowulf states a CAC Boomerang and was originally posted by JDK on the 7th Nov 2006, What Cockpit MkV Page 11 and Post#216.

[sycamore]

Aha.that explains the upside-down artificial horizon then...!:ok:

[TxTD]

Haha yep you guys are spot on. This is going to be pretty challenging

[TxTD]

Martin Baltimore (A-30)?
Is it a twin?

[twochai]

Methinks its a glider??

[MReyn24050]

This aircraft is not the Martin Baltimore. It was not from the USA. It was also not a twin engine aircraft nor was it a glider. It was a single engine aircraft. Unfortunately a great number of instruments are missing on the panel.
Mel

[evansb]

Chizhevski BOK-8 ?

[MReyn24050]

This one is not Russian Bri.

[sabredog]

Japanese,Mel? Nakajima type?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry Sabredog this one was not Japanese. The aircraft was designed and built in Europe. First impression of this aircraft can be somewhat deceiving.
Mel

[skytrain10]

Mel, I'm probably barking up the wrong tree, but without instrumentation I'm wondering if this is an early jet?
Or, deviating off track again, would it be a Caproni N1?

[MReyn24050]

Ken. You are not deviating off track. It is indeed the cockpit of the Caproni Campini N.1.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Caproni_foto.jpg

However As designed by Campini, the aircraft did not have a jet engine in the sense that we know them today. Rather, a conventional 500 kW (670 hp) Isotta Fraschini L. 121/R.C. 40 piston engine was used to drive a compressor, which forced air into a combustion chamber where it was mixed with fuel and ignited. The exhaust produced by this combustion was to drive the aircraft forward. Campini called this configuration a "thermojet," but the term "motorjet" is in common usage today for this arrangement since thermojet is now used to refer to a particular type of pulsejet (an unrelated form of jet engine). It has also been described as a ducted fan.[1]
You have control.
Mel

[skytrain10]

Hi Mel, excellent challenge :ok:. Yes I had realised after posting that of course the Caproni was not actually jet powered...although it looks like it should be!

Here we go:

[sycamore]

A bit of `French`..?

[skytrain10]

Not French sycamore.

[skytrain10]

This one needs to go soon as I will be away for a few days.

So a clue. American and produced in some numbers. Surprised we've not had it before.

[sycamore]

F-94 Starfire..

[skytrain10]

Not the F-94 syscamore, but the right era - a late 1940's design.

[sycamore]

Single-seat,or tandem,Navy or AirForce..?.

and I presume it`s a single-jet..

[skytrain10]

Single seat - navy (and marines).

And yes, single jet.

[skytrain10]

This one has to go soon......try a well known manufacturer of USN aircraft!

[sycamore]

M-D F3H Demon..?

[dash7fan]

Grumman F9F Panther??

[skytrain10]

Sorry not the Demon sycamore, but....

dash7fan has it. It is the Grumman F9F Panther. Well done:ok:

dash7fan has control

[dash7fan]

Thanks skytrain, open house pls

[evansb]

Here is the next mystery cockpit:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/WCP110509.jpg

[MReyn24050]

Interesting looking aircraft, Bri. Are we looking at the co-pilot in his seat behind the pilot?

[VX275]

Looking at the round fenestration in the nose I presume its an early pressurised cabin.
So I'll hazard a guess at Vicker Wellington VI

[evansb]

Sorry, not a pressurized Wellington, but the same category aircraft. Mel, yes I think it is the co-pilot sitting in tandem. I'll check other sites to be sure..

[sycamore]

American, Brit,Euro,twin-engined,WW2 era,bomber,probably 3+ crew,..?

[RegDep]

Four round windows in the nose….

Could this be as old as Douglas B-7 / O-35, or Fokker/General XB-8 :confused:

[evansb]

Not British, not from Douglas, Fokker or General. but it is a WW.II twin-engine bomber, 3+ crew. Originally thought by it's foe to be a fighter..

[MReyn24050]

Possibly Japanese perhaps?

[Noyade]

G'day Mel.

I was thinking the Yokosuka Ginga but those portholes have me baffled. Same problem with something from the Amiot 350 series....?

[evansb]

Nihon hai !

[Noyade]

Tachikawa Ki-74...?

[evansb]

Noyade is correct:ok: Well done:D:D:D The pressurized "Patsy". Your turn.

[Noyade]

Thanks Bri!

Easy one?....

[SincoTC]

G'day Graeme :),

That looks like the IAI Lavi ?

[sycamore]

T-38....????

[Noyade]

Evening gents.

That looks like the IAI Lavi ? It is mate, with a bit of cropping. Your control Trevor. :ok:

http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/4223/lavid.jpg (http://img832.imageshack.us/i/lavid.jpg/)

[SincoTC]

Thanks mate, I spied a foreplane trunnion!

I just put one up on SC for you to knock down, maybe this one too :)

I'm surprised this hasn't been up before (well, I couldn't find it)!!

http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n540/SincoSafe/TC_WzztCP009.jpg

[Noyade]

They look like comfortable seats mate. A civil aircraft?

[SincoTC]

All mod-cons mate, but 'twas military!

[ozbeowulf]

That's a Consolidated B-24...

OPEN HOUSE, when (and if ) confirmed.

[SincoTC]

You are correct ozbeowulf, well done! :ok:

It is the Consolidated B-24 Liberator.

ozbeowulf has requested an Open House

[sabredog]

[SincoTC]

Hi sabredog,

Is this a biplane or a parasol? 1920's? British?
