diginagain is correct!
The interior of Air Atlantique Classic Flight's machine (which you can go for a flight in too...)
This type has a different undercarriage setup to 'normal' - anyone?
The undercarriage through the window, not surprisingly for the grass at AA Coventry, features a Dak (for shame misidentifiers) which is cropped so, because its the example with the huge radar bulge on the underside - a unique machine and a dead givaway.
Digin's call.

.........but since I'm (supposedly) at work, resources are a little thin on the ground.
If someone else has a suitable picture, I promise not to play for at least 12 hours - I'm just going off watch!
BTW, great thread. keep it up.

MJ - I'm pretty sure the Pitts has an enclosed cockpit with a canopy.
I'm sure Cringe is right - that bevelled panel is a giveaway!

Cringe is close, but I'm looking for letters - and it's not registered as a Waco.
It's a three seater: 'passengers' is a clue.
You can have a go if you like though!

Cooo. I admit to being baffled, even with the clue. I'd go for US (I'd have said 1930s, so later than I thought) single engined (not enough widgets for multiple) radial, (cos they din't do anything else really)... But then the brane stop.

It's one of these:

Another clue (from spotter's corner):

There was once a Bendix Trophy racer who flew halfway across the US with flaps 15 (takeoff position) - and won in spite of it!

OK - just so you don't lose any more sleep: It's the Howard DGA-15. Derived from Benny Howard's "Mister Mulligan" (DGA-6) racer, which is the only airplane in racing history to take first place in both the Bendix (cross-country) and Thompson (closed-course) races. And did both in the same year - 1935.
Extra points if you know what DGA stands for. (You'll find it in JB)
