Thanks, Mel. The next pic is rather small, though I'm sure that won't present a problem for experts of your caliber.

Spot on, 682al. It was the Potez 631. 208 examples built. Another pic:



Your turn.

Apologies once again for this not being a full cockpit, but the clues are there nonetheless...

Definitely an early autogiro... Cierva? Pitcairn? Kellett? Avro? Weir? Wilford?

Awww, I knew it would be easy enough.

Spitfire has it - twice over!

It's a Cierva C.30 built by Avro (I blurred their name plate out).

Spitfire asked me to say he doesn't have time to post a cockpit and can someone else post one please :-)

Clint

Top left hand corner looks loke a prop blade so I gather this is a powerful tail dragging single seater perhaps in the YAK 50 class?

Well done, it is indeed a Zlin Cmelak.

You have control.

Thanks Invisible Cat. It was a lucky one I had come across it in my search for finding one that hasn't been used before.
I am sure this will be solved just as quick.
