Re: What Cockpit ?

Is it an early Handley-Page Hampden?

Re: What Cockpit ?

Not the Hampden, that's already been in the quiz, too.

Re: What Cockpit ?

If not the Bristol Beaufort how about the Bristol Blenheim? No forget that I now recall the Blenheim had completely different control column and layout. Clutching at straws again Vickers Wellington Mk1 or Armstrong Whitworth Whitley?

Re: What Cockpit ?

Thought about the Whitley. Maybe a SARO Lerwick ??

Congrats PPRuNe Radar, Lerwick it is.

Not exactly a success in service and almost forgotten about nowadays. Twenty one built, if I recall correctly.

Re: What Cockpit ?

Nicknamed the 'Sinking Pig' due to both its porcine appearance and negative climb rate on one engine.

Almost as dreadful as the Blackburn Botha.

Re: What Cockpit ?

Which was also somewhat underpowered - although it didn't look it!

Re: What Cockpit ?

PPRuNe Radar.

The same pic was posted by BEagle on Sep.29 page 1.
It's the Douglas X-3 Stiletto.

Over 190 cockpits have been posted now and MReyn24050 has done a fantastic breakdown of all the stats on an Excel spreadsheet. We are looking at ways to get it posted on the site.

Thanks. I have not yet come up with a solution of how to get it on the net but if anyone wants a copy please PM me and I will forward it to their email address. I would like to add that cringe has also done a fantastic job in producing a similar sheet. We have exchanged data and verified the results.

I really enjoyed that challenge I must admit I didn't even consider the Lerwick. Keep them coming

Re: What Cockpit ?

Excel for the Mac enables saving a spreadsheet as html, so I've posted it here:

What Cockpit? List

It needs a bit of tweaking as the html conversion isn't flawless, but you can read all the information.

Re: What Cockpit ?

Coo. That was a toughie, and I like big boasts.

Thanks for the spreadsheet, chaps.

NEXT! (Otherwise what's Cringe going to ace, incidentally showing us that one girl is better than all the boys?)

Re: What Cockpit ?

I hope I haven't taken a liberty here but I have converted Mel's table to a web page and it is temporarily hosted on my site at the link below. If anyone has a problem with this please let me know and I will remove it. Having converted it to HTML I'm hoping that someone will "adopt" it and host it elsewhere in a more official capacity.

Cheers

I've just realised that AppleMacster beat me to the punch. I reckon the broth is well and truly spoilt.

Re: What Cockpit ?

Well, I've posted one which I thought was reasonably easy and everybody struggled, and one which I though would take a while and took 4 minutes.

This one I reckon is middlin', so who knows!
