Hello,
i followed the "What cockpit" threads with interest and hope that someone can help me to identify some cockpit radios shown at Cockpits Menu (http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Cockpits/Cockpits.htm) .
The first one is the radio installed in T8P1, Avro 652 and Bell 47G. Looks like a Narco VC-27 (?).
The other one is a set of receiver and transmitter fitted in the
DHC-2 Beaver, Bell 47J and Bellanca 31-50. It seems to be made by RCA.

Thanks,
Fynn

Fynn I've forwarded this link to a friend of mine who's well versed in all things radio. I'm awaiting a reply in a day or so.

Kein problem; es ist unser weg! Willkommen zum Pprune.

The Anson set looks like a Narco but I can't view it big enough to be sure.

Thanks for the replies.

I'am pretty sure that the photos of the Avro and the T8P show a Narco VC-27 Simplexer, but the radio of the Bell 47G has a turning knob on the lower right while all the photos of the VC-27 show a tuning crank in this place.
