One to fill the gap. I am sure this one will go as quickly as the last one.

's'n'Oxford!

Unfortunately, I am far from my cockpit photo collection so will have to offer up the next round, in the event of being correct.

682al
It is as you say a "s'n'Oxford" or to be more precise an Airspeed Oxford.
This was the one I was going to post but I thought that would be too easy:-



Hi Clint it is great to see the thread you started has been going for almost a year and with some 480 challenges , of which only about a dozen of which have been repeats. There are plenty more to come as well.

As 682al says anyone want to put up the 481st challenge?

Twin engined, American instruments - upside down controlwheels - Cessna Bobcat (or maybe a Crane)?

On second thoughts, with such a clean cockpit, no artificial horizon and no right-hand brake pedals,maybe this is a civilian model, perhaps the prototype T-50?

I'm sorry but I have to take your first answer !!!!!!

It is indeed a Cessna UC-78 Bobcat.
Well done sir, you have control.

Thanks Clint.

How about this type? I don't think it has been posted before.



And let's please remember, this is What Cockpit, not the Caption Competition

Bristol Blenheim IV, which we have had! Alternatively we could be being clever with a Bollingbroke.

JDK,
Yes, it's the clever answer. The picture is from the Canada Science and Technology Museum (http://imagescn.technomuses.ca/aviat...otoid=68402534)

I must have missed the page with the Mark IV. Over to you.

Sorry about a little bit of thread drift but can someone explain what the two vertical T-handle controls behind the throttle quadrant in the photo of the Airspeed Oxford are for?

jeppsbore is correct they are the fuel cocks for the main fuel tanks one for each engine. These control the fuel supply to the engines from both the main and auxilliary tanks.

Well done Mel.

I thought about making it a monochrome image and so on, but decided that would be cheating.

You have control!
