What Cockpit? MK VI

[sabredog]

Apologies,Gentlemen. I should have provided a clue before this juncture.
SincoTC,it is an American built aircraft, and a parasol type.

[Noyade]

Civil?

Blind stab....Inland S-300 Sport?

[Noyade]

Military?

Blind stab....Boeing XP-15?

[sabredog]

It is a civilian aircraft,Noyade, but not the S-300.
Apologies for the general quality of the photograph, but it is easily "Googled".

[evansb]

It is the Nemeth Round Wing ?

[sabredog]

No,Bri,not the Nemeth Round Wing.

[sabredog]

Abject apologies,Gentlemen. The aircraft in question is a bi-plane.
The aircraft company responsible for it's design and manufacture came into being in 1919,and it was a very advanced concept for it's time.
Apologies once again, for the duff information.

[Noyade]

a very advanced conceptA very fast aircraft? Say, 1920?

[sabredog]

Not a fast aircraft,Noyade. The company closed in 1921,having spent $30,000 in developing and building the prototype. The company was reborn under a new name in 1926, and was to become a very famous name in aviation,initially producing a successful high-speed civilian monoplane,using the advanced methods of construction first used in this aircraft.

[SincoTC]

Thanks for the new information sabredog :ok:

I reckon, that it has to be the Loughead S-1 Sport Biplane, with its folding wings and moulded plywood fuselage, its manufacturer, was of course the progenitor of Lockheed Aircraft Co

[evansb]

Loughead/Lockheed S-1 Sports Biplane ?

[sabredog]

Absolutely correct,Bri, but SincoTC just pipped you at the post by three minutes. The Vega was the high speed monoplane produced later.
Well done,and I again apologise for the earlier duff gen.
That is what happens when amateurs participate!

Quite a good looking machine for it's day.

Now,back to the Aviaquiz for it's latest challenge!
YHC SincoTC.

[SincoTC]

Thanks sabredog, a good challenge!!

Sorry guys, but due to work commitments, I'll have to call an Open House

[evansb]

Good work SincoTC ! Here is the next challenge:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/ETCH_A_SKETCH.jpg

[evansb]

Clue time: More than 2,000 examples were produced.

[MReyn24050]

Mitsubishi G4M Betty perhaps?
Mel

[evansb]

Yes, Mel, your are correct.:ok: Your turn.

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Bri. Sorry for the delay. Here is the next one:-
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Cockpitquiz384.jpg
Mel

[sycamore]

Seems rather `Germanic` in layout..biplane,multi-crew ?

[MReyn24050]

sycamore
The answer to your questions is 100% Yes.

[sycamore]

I`ll start with the Arado 95, seaplane..

[MReyn24050]

This one is not the Arado 95.

[dash7fan]

Henschel Hs122 ???

[MReyn24050]

Sorry for the delay dash7fan. However this one is not from Henschel.
Mel

[skytrain10]

I know you've said its not an Ar-95 but I'm wondering if it is still an Arado....the Ar-81 maybe?

[MReyn24050]

The one was not from the Arado stable, Ken.

[sycamore]

How about Heinkel He -50..?

[skytrain10]

Or maybe the Fiesler Fi.167?

[MReyn24050]

This aircraft is not the Heinkel 50 nor the Fiesler Fi.167. It was designed as replacement for the Heinkel He.114 but was rejected in favour of a competitor.

[skytrain10]

In that case, how about the Focke-Wulf Fw.62?

[MReyn24050]

That is the one.:ok:
The first prototype was flown on 23 October 1937. The first and second prototype had twin floats, while the third and fourth had a large central float and smaller outboard stabilizing floats. Official tests began in Travemünde in January 1938. The Fw 62 was a capable aircraft and well liked by the test pilots, but the competing Arado Ar 196 monoplane was both conceptually and structurally much more modern, and was chosen for production

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/fw-62.jpg

[skytrain10]

Thanks Mel. Good challenge.:ok:

Here is the next:

[evansb]

Fairchild F-45 ?

[skytrain10]

Hey Bri - exactly 24 hrs from my posting, and you've got it in one:ok:. Yes the Fairchild 45.

[evansb]

Thank you. Here is the next challenge:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/PEEK_A_BOO.jpg

[India Four Two]

Hi bri,

I'll start the ball rolling. There's that "Mig" clock again and what look like turbine instruments, so a Russian jet or turbo-prop trainer, although the cockpit paint makes me think of Eastern Europe rather than Russia.

The radio stack and panel-mounted GPS indicates it might be operated further west than its original home.

[sycamore]

PZL Orlik...?

[India Four Two]

Sycamore,
I think the Orlik might be too new.

Looking at PZL's aircraft again, how about the M-4 Tarpan?

[dash7fan]

PZL TS 11 Iskra ???

[evansb]

Sorry for the delay. It is a Polish design, but none of the models mentioned.

[Noyade]

PZL I-22 Iryda...?

[sycamore]

I`ll try a revamped PZL M26 Airwolf..?

[evansb]

Sorry, it is not from PZL. I thought the composite material on the console would be a big clue. It flew, it doesn't fly anymore. It was powered by a J-85 engine.

[India Four Two]

Is it the Marganski Myslowski EM-10 Bielik?

[evansb]

Simon (India Four Two) is correct:ok: Yes, it is the Marganski & Myslowski EM-10 Bielik (white tail eagle). Similar to the ATG Javelin in profile. Your turn.
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/IMGP15831.jpg

[India Four Two]

bri,

Great challenge. There is a nice video of its first (?) flight here: YouTube - ‪Marganski Myslowski EM-10 Bielik Jet‬‏

Open House

[India Four Two]

I've just remembered I did have a 'new' cockpit:

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/india42/Screenshot2011-05-24at073631.png

[asw28-866]

PZL SZD 45A OGAR? Side by side motor glider with pusher engine config based on standard PZL glider bits?

If correct OH.

'866

[India Four Two]

I knew a glider pilot would get it ;)

The Ogar (Greyhound)
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/india42/Ogar5-24-201112-22-30PM.png

I test flew one of these many years ago. Quite nice performance and a very glider-like view thanks to the pusher prop. The drawback to the pusher configuration was the incredible noise, presumably due to the close proximity of the prop tips to the tail boom. It sounded like a Cessna Skymaster.

One feature I had forgotten about, which shows up in the cockpit photo, is that the rudder pedals, stick and seat on the right side, were set back a little to allow for a narrower cockpit without rubbing shoulders.

As '866 said, Open House.

[dash7fan]

To keep it running

http://www11.file-upload.net/22.05.11/mz324h199t9.JPG

[dash7fan]

Only the engine instruments are different. Of course, there is an other engine installed to a standard aircraft.

[dash7fan]

Seems to be not an easy one. It was produced in the US an over 10.000 were built.

[sycamore]

Gotta be a Cub,with a funny engine and a 4bladed paddle wheel prop

[dash7fan]

You are correct. It`s a Piper PA 18 Super Cub but with an Volkswagen Turbodiesel engine with special gearbox and prop.

Over to You

http://www11.file-upload.net/24.05.11/3sqx3lxdi1u2.JPG

[MReyn24050]

To keep things moving here is the next one:-

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Cockpitquiz385.jpg

[sycamore]

Doesn`t look as if it`s from UK,USA,or Russia,soo,how about Italian or French? Is it an old picture or recent,as it seems to be parked behind a twin-tailed aircraft..?

[evansb]

Hey there sycamore, we waited over 72 hours for your reply. After correctly identifying the PA-18 mod cockpit, you were either to post a new challenge, or declare an open house.

[sycamore]

Ever so sorry ,chaps,but I`m incontinent at posting pics,so it`ll always be OH from me......grovelling away....

[MReyn24050]

This aircraft is neither French nor Italian. As to the date of the photograph I have no idea.

[sycamore]

Perhaps from Germany ?Is it 4-engined,tailwheel,civil/mil,transport ?

[MReyn24050]

The aircraft was designed and built in Germany.

[Noyade]

Hi Mel.

In with a stab. Blohm und Voss Bv 138?

[sycamore]

Is there a `French connection` in it`s later life..?

[MReyn24050]

Graeme your stab was good but not close enough.
Sycamore. As far as I know there was no "French Connection" but I could be wrong.

[Noyade]

it seems to be parked behind a twin-tailed aircraft..?

Based on what Sycamore observed, is this a production line? The one in front is the same as the cockpit challenge...if you get my drift.

[MReyn24050]

Graeme.
I do not think that it was a production line as only a very limited number of these aircraft were built. Sorry, I do not know if the aircraft parked in front was a sister aircraft, however looking at the rudder hinge she could well have been.
Mel.

[sycamore]

How about Arado 232 ?

[sabredog]

The control yokes have a Dornier look about them, Mel. A Dornier 19 perhaps?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry chaps neither Arado nor the Dornier for this one.

[evansb]

B & v bv.142 ?

[dash7fan]

Heinkel 116 ????

[MReyn24050]

Sorry for the delay, neither the B & v bv.142 nor the Heinkel 116.

[dash7fan]

HFB (Blohm u. Voss) Ha 139 ????

[MReyn24050]

That is the one the HFB (Blohm u. Voss) Ha 139.

[Avionker]

Could be a F-16 maybe?

[dash7fan]

Yes Avionker, it`s the F 16

Over to You

[Avionker]

Thanks dash7fan. My first attempt at setting a challenge so apologies if it's too easy/hard/boring for you all.

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee414/kryten69/trial1.jpg

[sycamore]

A UAV/RPV `cockpit ?

[Avionker]

No sycamore, very definitely a "real" cockpit. The angle perhaps is a little sneaky, I will reveal more if no one gets it in a few hours.

[sycamore]

OK,how about an airship..?

[Avionker]

No, it's a conventional heavier-than-air machine...

[Avionker]

As promised here is another photo of the same cockpit, from a slightly more conventional angle.

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee414/kryten69/trial2.jpg

[evansb]

Jetstream 32 ?

[Avionker]

On the money evansb, over to you. Would you have got that from the first photo alone? This was going to be the next "clue"...

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee414/kryten69/trial3.jpg

[evansb]

Actually, yes. I didn't need the second photo as I just flew on a Jetstream last Friday from CYEG to CYQL. Here is the next challenge:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/NEW_ONE.jpg

[Avionker]

Would it have Eastern Bloc origins by any chance?

[evansb]

Yes, from one of the former Eastern Bloc nation states.

[Avionker]

It's gone quiet....:zzz: We may need a little clue here evansb

[MReyn24050]

Update of Lists up to and including 31/May/2011

Graeme.
I must apologise for posting the Blohm and Voss Ha 139 again, it was only when carrying out the update I noticed that you had posted it at Post #5413. sorry mate.
Mel

[evansb]

Here is another view/clue: (I must apologize too, as this cockpit was posted before, more than three years ago..but the source may have mislabeled the original photo. I can, however, confirm the identity of this cockpit with 100% accuracy)

[sycamore]

Let.410..?

[evansb]

Sorry, not the Let-410. The mystery aircraft is more of a personal pleasure craft, although it does have a remarkable utility.

[evansb]

The mystery cockpit is from the Aero-Volga LA-8 Amphibian. I think the cockpit shown in the March 2008 challenge identified as a LA-8 was actually the LA-6. I should know, as I posted the challenge. I declare OPEN HOUSE.

Not a Dragonfly either. Was still flying a few years back - tho haven't been near the airfield since.

[sycamore]

Must be a Rapide then..

[scotbill]

Yes - The DH89 which did yeoman work for BEA till the mid 50s - and even after that for the Scillies. This was G-AKIF at Duxford. Anyone know if it is still flying?

An aeroplane where the passengers had to be weighed as well as the bags and they tried not to roster a big R/O with a big pilot!

[sycamore]

Is this a `re-vamped` Douglas aircraft..?

[Avionker]

If that was aimed at me sycamore then the answer is no, it is not.

[sycamore]

Difficult to judge ,but is it a piston engined aircraft ,perhaps built by the company referred to in the posts at the top of the page ?

[scotbill]

Thanks for that Kieron - although it doesn't clarify whether it is still flying?

SB

[Avionker]

No sycamore, not piston and not referred to on that page.

OK, how about something from Eastern Europe(covering a pretty wide area) ?

[Avionker]

Not eastern European, but relatively close.....

[sycamore]

As you are in Skandi, a J29 Tunnan...?

[Avionker]

Not a J29 sycamore, but you are on the right tracks....

[sycamore]

Aha, then is it the J21 ?,the twin-boom pusher -turned -jet ?

Thanks Graeme. Now to be serious here is the next one:-
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Cockpitquiz388.jpg

[Kitbag]

The stick, coaming, heel boards and rudder pedals all shout Messerschmitt single seater for some reason, but I'm confused by the arrangement of controls on the left hand side. Have you found a good image of the Me262 V1 with both piston engine in the nose and a pair of jets under the wing?

[MReyn24050]

Kitbag
My source for this photograph does not mention any Messerschmitt involvement in the aircraft to which it is attributed.
Mel

[Kitbag]

But it is German?

If not one of Herr Willy's, what about the other guy Tank?

I was going to plump for the FW 187 but I see that's been done.

So what about the Focke Wulf Ta154?

Still confused with the controls on the left hand side though- seem to be very neat and modern

[MReyn24050]

Kurt Tank certainly had a hand in this aircraft but not a Focke Wulf.

[Noyade]

Hi Mel.

Post WW2?

[skytrain10]

FMA IAe-33 Pulqui II?

Edit, take that back....I see it's been done before.

Edit 2...HAL Marut?

[Noyade]

Edit 2...HAL Marut? http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/9393/marutt.jpg (http://img215.imageshack.us/i/marutt.jpg/)

[MReyn24050]

Skytrain has it, the HAL HF24 Murat Mk1. The photograph is entitled 'Cockpit of HF24' in an article on Kurt Tank's involvement in the design of the HAL HF24 Murat from Wolfgang Wagner's book "Kurt Tank: Focke-Wulf's Designer and Test Pilot".

However, I will agree with Graeme the cockpit frame does not look 'rounded' enough. The other factor that now concerns me is the label on the fore and aft panel on the starboard side just to the right of the stick. It appears to be written in German. Would this be so on an Indian aircraft?

Could Kitbag have been correct Have you found a good image of the Me262 V1 with both piston engine in the nose and a pair of jets under the wing?

I will give the "laurels" to Ken on the evidence I have but will dig deeper.
Mel

[sycamore]

I would agree that the Marut cockpit was more rounded,and more `substantial for a pressurised jet.
I also think it`s the FW 187 as the cockpit of the prototype was actually a single-seat,and modelled,very similar to the `190`. Being a twin as well the knobs and levers would fit as well..I think the script on the right says `Schickelgruber is waiting`.....

[MReyn24050]

Sorry Guys. Duff information. The publication from which I obtained the photograph is wrong. I have found the same photograph in another publication on the Focke-Wulf Ta 154:-
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Ta154.jpg
Here it is entitled "A mock-up of pilot's cockpit of Ta 154 V1 prototype". This seems to be more likely. Which only goes to prove never believe everything published.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Ta154V1.jpg

Apparently the word written on the panel is Schusszahler which translated means Shot counter.
Mel

[sycamore]

There is an interesting short film of the construction of the Ta-154 on u-tube,although it only shows a quick side view of the cockpit..

[Kitbag]

If you are all agreed it is the Ta154 :ok: then it's Open House.

[MReyn24050]

As Kitbag says:-
If you are all agreed it is the Ta154 then it's Open House

I will go along with that (Post #5670). My apologies for not researching the photograph more fully. Looking at the photograph in hindsight one can see that the subject aircraft would have had to be twin engined to match the two throttle levers.

OPEN HOUSE

[Noyade]

Interesting machine Bri. Unfortunately I was obsessed with a British solution and then had a 'brainwave' idea that it was a clever shot through the support struts of an autogyro...oh well.

I believe we haven't had this before....:)

[evansb]

Dear oldpax, cockpits that have been posted on this thread are listed on a sticky on the forum page index.

[Noyade]

F-104 HALlo oldpax, not the Starfighter mate. We discussed this aircraft recently. Remember Mr Tank...? :)

[Noyade]

SAAB Draken

No mate, from India....

[Noyade]

I think I should wrap this one up...and move on.

[Speedbird48]

Luscombe 11 Sedan.

If correct, Open House as the list is now too comprehensive for my small collection.

Thank you. Speedbird 48.

[evansb]

Speedbird48 is correct. As he requested, it is OPEN HOUSE.

[Noyade]

Mel's list is big, but I couldn't see this on it....

[oldpax]

is it a B-26 invader?

[Noyade]

It is oldpax. Your control mate. :ok:

[MReyn24050]

Over 24 hours since oldpax identified that last challenge. So to keep things moving here is the next one. If I have "jumped the gun" and oldpax has a challenge I will stand down. Mel

[oldpax]

Oldpax does not have cockpit photos to hand!!Now this one,British or European?

[MReyn24050]

Thanks oldpax. This one is European.
Mel

[evansb]

Dear oldpax, we mostly get photos from searching the net, post them to a photo host site, such as "...photobucket.com" or "...imageshack.org" and then post them on the forum. That is how one participates in this thread. The winner is supposed to post a photo challenge within 24-hrs of notification of a correct identification.

[VX275]

German? and if so Dornier?

[MReyn24050]

It certainly is a Dornier.

[Noyade]

Dornier Do 19...?

[MReyn24050]

Not the Dornier Do19 Graeme.

[SincoTC]

Good evening Mel,

That looks like a Dornier Do-23G to me ??

Open House if correct please, as I'm just on a short break before returning to work!

[MReyn24050]

That is one Trevor, the Dornier Do-23G:-

My only previous picture regrettably coincided with a magazine feature on the aircraft in question, so I hope this one doesn't...

[SincoTC]

Morning aerobelly,

If you edit your post above and add image placeholders around you posted URL like this your url here your image will appear and make it easier for viewers

Looks like a good challenge, but I have no idea at present and have to go now :ok:

[evansb]

Flight Design CTLS ?

[aerobelly]

Evansb has it.

It's actually a CTSW, but the main difference is the wings and the cockpits are (AFAIK) identical.


Over to you.....

[evansb]

Thanks. Here is the next challenge:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/ANOTHER_ONE_.jpg

[sycamore]

Would this be a twin engined piston powered Russian ? and has the port side fuselge panel been removed ?

[evansb]

It is two-engined, but it is not Russian. Only 6 were built. It does appear some side-panels have been removed.

[Noyade]

G'day Bri. Is that a left shoe of a maintenance worker in overalls right of photo? He looks healthy...maybe American or British?

[evansb]

Not American or British. The aircraft first flew after V-E day.

[MReyn24050]

Wild guess the Arsenal VB.10?

[evansb]

Good guess Mel:ok: Spot on. Your control.
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/Arsenal-VB-1011.jpg

[MReyn24050]

Thank you Brian. That really was a big aeroplane, or are those Frenchmen all very short.
Here is the next one. I should say right from the start that this is the cockpit of a projected aircraft.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Cockpitquiz386.jpg

[Noyade]

G'day Mel. German?

[sycamore]

Kurt Tank influence again..?

[papazulu]

FW190? Could be any version, though...

PZ :ok:

[Noyade]

Kurt Tank influence again..? cockpit of a projected aircraft.
Adding these two together....Ta-183?

[MReyn24050]

Graeme.
Sorry for the delay. This project was German, however not the Ta-183 but it was a forerunner of the Ta-183 project. I am not certain if Kurt Tank had anything to do with the design.

[Noyade]

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

Project VII Flitzer

[MReyn24050]

That is the one:-
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/FWPViFlitzer.jpg

The Focke Wulf Project Flitzer.

By the autumn of 1944 the development of P. VII and sub-assemblies were completed, the first prototype was ready for flight. But the German Reich Aviation Ministry considered that the projected speed of the aircraft would not meet their requirements also the cost in materials and construction was too expensive. As it was considered that insufficient time and money was available to introduce modifications Focke-Wulf had no other choice but to cancel the project.

You have control Graeme.

[Noyade]

Thanks Mel. Sycamore gave me the idea.
Couldn't find this on your list mate but it is a version of sorts of one that is so I not sure if there were many cockpit changes. I'm interested to find out what the bloke at bottom right is doing. Sick or some sort of radar-scope?

[denhamjosh18]

Not quite sure what he's doing, but I do love the way all of their hair is perfectly gelled back and properly combed:}:}:ok: ( as are all of today's fine pilots ) :cool:

[sycamore]

Could be an early Dc-4,and the guy `pukin` may be taking a `drift line` with a drift sight...

could be a film,Basil Rathbone ?,the Captain, Purser on left looks familiar too...lanyway count me out...gone flying..!

[Noyade]

This is the Canadian development of the DC-4/C-54.

[Noyade]

Calling it in. DC-4 is close enough? And Sycamore has gone flying. :)

The Canadair 4.

Open house.

[sycamore]

MiG 19 or -21..?

[evansb]

Sorry, not a Mig. Not Russian.

[sycamore]

Chineee..?

[Noyade]

I'm not a cockpit guy but the arched frame looks exceedingly bigger than the front console? I mean it looks almost claustrophobic, very boxed in?

[MReyn24050]

Nanchang Q-5 perhaps.
Mel

[evansb]

Correct Mel! Well done :D You have control.

[MReyn24050]

Thank you Bri. Great challenge. Here is the next one:-

I hope we will see a challenge from you.
