What Cockpit ?
Spoon PPRuNerist & Mad Inistrator
Looks like it should be a twin, but there are barely enough instruments! Just single pilot though - unless this example has had the RH seat and controls removed for some reason!
Is that a battery on the RHS, and maybe an early radio set above it?
Late 20's / early 30's I think.
Hard to tell if it is enclosed cockpit or not - on balance I'd say it is.
Latecoere on the basis that it's been a bridesamid a few times but never flown up the aisle?

You,'ve done all the work Saab, but I reckon you have to commit to which Late' ? - they produced an array of distinctive and not too pretty aeroplanes.
You'll enjoy just looking at all the shapes.

Bullseye. All yours. [BTW I think all the gubbins on the right is radio kit - I can't see it as a battery - that's not to say it isn't of course. - and what is that winding handle slightly left of centre ? - rudder pedal adjustment ? trailing aerial ?]

Thanks Bert!
I'd suggest that the handle is a trim device - but whether rudder or elevator is beyond me.
You are right - they are bloody ugly aeroplanes! Not much information abounds about them either (I reckon they are best quietly forgotten
).
I've got a lovely photo for the next challenge - I just need to lay my hands on it and upload it.

OK, here you go -
Maybe it should be a caption competition instead
It's a genuine airframe (just not much else). Who are the "pilots"? And, of course, what is the aeroplane?

Hi Bert - Lindbergh is right, but not the other.
Curiously, "36" is also right, but not Sikorsky S-!
The photo shows them sitting in the actual cockpit of the aircraft on the production line while it is being built, so the skin and glazing etc. etc. are yet to be added!
