No, not a torpedo carrier. It was designed as a private venture. It did not have much success in the UK. Several Mks were tested. A later Mk was sold abroad under a different name to a couple of countries. One of these countries used the aircraft to carry under wing mounted bombs.

Sorry asw28-866 Capatain Airclues has it. It was the cockpit of a Vickers Vixen. As used by the Chilian Air Force.

Is that the general case i.e no suitable photographs or do people think the thread has lost it's appeal? I have several photographs yet but I do not want to upset people by jumping in and posting them.

Well I think people still seem to like having a go, so I'd post what you have...

I don't have any to post (and I'm not very good anyway, but I enjoy a challenge!)

Mel.

I don't think it's a case of the thread loosing its appeal.

As the time has past the pictures have become more obscure. I personally don't have a clue about the older cockpits, hence no postings from me for a while.

But look at the number of viewings each day. There are loads. So people must be still interested.


Clint.

Many thanks for your comment and re-assurance. I just didnt want people to think I was trying to hog the posting as I have posted several recently.

Sorry neither the Vickers Virginia nor the Vulcan.

Only a guess but I'll say Vickers Vernon so we can rule out the whole trio..

I'm still interested in this thread but, like Treadders, I've run out of shots to post.
