What Cockpit? MK IV

[cringe]

Sorry Mel, not British either.

Well done evansb, you're close enough. It was a LeO H-257 with Gnome & Rhône engines while the 258's were by Hispano-Suiza. Your go.

cringe. Good challenge, well done evansb . The tandem pilot situation was most unique.

Thanks cringe. I couldn't find a good enough image of the LeO H-257,
so I went with the -258. Once again, I am not in a position to post, so its over to someone who perhaps hasn't posted in a while, or ever, for that matter. Cheers!

Thanks, Mel. The tandem pilot setting reminds me of the Cant Z 1007 (which we had on the thread before):

NOBODY wants to post? I'll be able to post around 0530 UTC if you can stand waiting that long.

I don't think we've had one of these.

Seeing as you asked nicely.

Tandem seat liason - Taylorcraft L2M?

[evansb]

Stinson L-5 Sentinel.

[JDK]

evansb has it.

Your turn now, and if you don't have a picture ready, guess worse.

Cheers

Finally, here is one from the vault.

[MReyn24050]

Keystone LB-5A Bomber perhaps?

[evansb]

Sorry, not a Keystone LB-5A.

How about the Vickers Virginia?

[evansb]

Not the Vickers Virginia.

[JDK]

Is it a flying boat (or amphibian?)

[evansb]

Not a flying boat, nor an amphibian.

I'm with Mel's thinking here - those control wheels are very Vickers. The Scarff ring indicates a military aircraft and the open cockpit must limit the candidates. Trouble is, I have no ideas!

[evansb]

It first flew a couple of years before the Virginia.

Vickers Vernon?

[evansb]

Sorry, not the Vickers Vernon.
