What Cockpit? MK V
Evansb had it - if I had replied earlier confirming Douglas, carrier borne but not the Dauntless, windriver might have beaten him to the tape.
Evansb, you have control.

Fitter2.. whilst we're waiting for the next challenge would you mind posting the full version of your challenge image if you have one... even now I know what it was it's still difficult to visualise the view.

Fitter2's challenge
Thanks Fitter2. A stimulating challenge! I enjoyed the the research, and your comments regarding the possibility of windriver beating me to the tape truly inspire me to improve my acumen.

In the spirit of 3 engines I'll go for the Ford Trimotor....
May seem an odd question but what marks this out as a three engined aircraft? The "throttle??" levers or some instruments perhaps?

Sorry mates, not a Stinson, Junkers, nor a Ford.
The engine control binnacle is non-standard. The teal coloured control is for the propeller pitch, the central pewter handle is the throttle, and the red knob is for the mixture.
