What Cockpit ?

[MReyn24050]

I will go to post war the Beriev BE8, KOR 4, Type 33? Am I right in thinking it is a single engined aircraft?

[cringe]

That was it, a Be-8 amphibian:



Well done Mel and thanks for not giving up. Over to you.

Many thanks it was a very interesting challenge and well worth the chase. I am not suire about this one it may prove to be hard but then I expect 682al or yourself will get in a flash.
The view is of the back of an instrument panel.

Certainly not from a Camel, Snipe, SE5, Avro 504K or Gunbus. Looks a bit sparse for a WWI Fighter perhaps it is from DH Moth.

Those look like British MK II rad and oil temp gauges in the back of that panel...

Twin engined?

Hmmm, an early pressurised cabin. Mk. VI Wellington perhaps?

[MReyn24050]

Whitley Project
Certainly British and twin engined.

682al

On the right lines, but not a Wellington.

[682al]

O.k., I'll stick with Vickers for the Type 432 "Tin Mossie" high altitude fighter?

[MReyn24050]

682al
You were right sticking with Vickers it is the Type 432.


You have control

[682al]

Thanks MReyn24050. I'm half-sure I've seen that photo published as a Wellington VI somewhere!

I'll put something up later.

The photograph was scanned from the February 1997 issue of Aeroplane Monthly which published the photograph as part of an article on the Vickers 432 "Tin Mossie". I feel pretty confident they got it right. I have seen, on another website, the Wellington VI referred to incorrectly as the Type 432. As you no doubt know the Prototype Wellington VI was Vickers Type 431 and Production Wellington Mk VIA was the Type 442 and the Mk VIG the Type 449.

Hi Mel, I'm talking years ago in a book about british bombers. I'm sure Aeroplane Monthly has it right.

Meanwhile, here's my next contribution...

[MReyn24050]

Piaggio P-149 perhaps?

[682al]

You might mistake this for one at a hundred yards (or metres).

European, then
How about the Socata MS-8xx Rallye or its Polish equivalent (Koliber IIRC) ?

[682al]

European, but neither of those Cat, sorry.

[windriver]

Avions Pierre Robin D??

[jabberwok]

Procaer F15 Picchio or maybe it's younger cousin the Nibbio.

[682al]

Nope, none of the above.

Likened to an Alfa Romeo in it's time...

il splendidissimo SIAI-Marchetti SF-260 alora ?
