Tigermate.

The b*****y cleaner broke it.

Sorry about the prompt but Mel doesn't get many wrong.

Next time you're across, perhaps you can show me how to get my system to post pictures here. My photo of Thunderbird 2's instrument panel is ready and waiting.

It is very easy to post a picture if you use photobucket or one of the other websites all you need to do is copy the photograph properties and paste it when you complete the reply box here.

SAMC Y-5 / PZL or other variation of the AN-2

Hope that we are not being over pedantic here.

Got your email

I chose this image because it has 'dislocation of expectation' within, which we can discuss once somebody has got it right.

Clue: Not American or Russian, so now narrowed down to...erh...the whole world! This particular example is French, and I have seen the same with alternative panels though not too disimilar. Reg: F-.....

I think you need to be more specific, but I have it on good authority that there are many examples of this in Switzerland. There is instrumentation there for you to be exact if you look closely. Reg: F-G...

F-GIXX

PC-6/B-H2 Fairchild Hiller Corp.
prototype PC-6/B-H2, ff 2.5.64
EvansB has control; Well done

The dislocation of expectation bit was because it appears to have two throttles, but in fact only has one.

Tiger mate's challenge

Thanks mate! The research was splendid! The "dis..of ex.." is compounded in this design because the curvature of the primary panel is not carried through to the starboard (non-flying) panel. It is a question of asymetrics, no? Also, the left and right ignition switches fool the novice into thinking the aircraft has two engines.

For your Saint Patrick's day pleasure, the following "What cockpit?"..
