I think we are looking at completely different photographs. If so this may be a cache issue.
Can you confirm you are seeing this picture -

Well done Jabberwok, I had the same problem as 682AL. Pressed "Ctrl+F5" for a forced refresh and now see the Tri-Poke cockpit rather than the Heston. (I agree with 185Skywagon by the way!)

I've been caught out by this effect before so I thought summat was amiss..

Can't guess the model myself but it looks like an early Piper yoke.

JabberwoK

I do now see a different picture to the one I saw when I commented before. Both pictures are now showing the drawing as against the picture of the Heston. I am now viewing these on my home PC with XP as against the one this morning which had Windows NT. As you say it sounds like a cache problem. I guess my other PC was looking for the URL address and came up with the previous photograph URL in it's memory and since this one is refreshed it now associates the previous post with the new photograph of 682al's latest post.
I do apologise for a moment I thought I was going crazy. Thanks for your patience.

Mel

No apology needed Mel.

Let's get on with the serious work of completely failing to identify the offending item.

Not a PA22-108 Colt, it didn't have the aft side windows.

Brochure for the Piper Saratoga PA-32? However the style of the drawing would indicate something much earlier.

I think 185Skywagon is probably right in saying the PA22 Tri Pacer - with a definitely streched imagination on behalf of the artist. It looks a lot bigger than the one I used to fly!

If we are talking about the picture on post 2527 it is either a Tri-Pacer or the original Pacer (PA-20 I think).

I'm going for the Tri-Pacer because of the deck angle being level as the Pacer had conventional landing gear.

I'm back folks, and all I can see is an illustration of the cabin of a 1959 Piper Tri-Pacer 160, taken from an original sales brochure.

I deleted the Heston Phoenix photo at the same time as I uploaded this one, so I've no idea what caused the glitch - 'tweren't me, honest!

And I think 185Skywagon wins this round.

Now someone please post a photo of a 1930-1950 british cockpit so I can get back in the game!

No - it wasn't. Some ISP's cache data retrieved by their users so that the next time you load the page it is from the local server and therefore a lot faster. It normally works quite well unless, as in this case, a picture is changed (same filename, different picture). Some users will still get the cached picture from the local server unless they force a full refresh as Treaders suggested.

Now let's see what 185Skywagon can throw at us..

Congrats 682al, you got it right once again. It's a Me-321A glider. Over to you now.

Thanks, Cringe,

I've made sure there is no similarity in url between this and any other jpeg I've uploaded, so hopefully, no confusion...
