What Cockpit? MK V

[Mr_Grubby]

Correct Sir !!
You have control.
Clint.

Thanks Clint. I understand NASA briefly experimented with a tail-less version of the X-31.
Here is the next cockpit.

Bri
Thanks for that. Here is one for the night shift, however I do not think it will last long.

Bell 47?

It isnt a 'Sioux' military instrument panel, but could be one belonging to a civilian built one.

[MReyn24050]

Tiger_mate

It is a Rotary Wing but not the Bell 47.

[Tiger_mate]

Got me baffled, particulaty by the lack of cockpit framework. It is clearly a civilian helicopter rather then military, and there are few flying bubbles to choose from. My son votes for a Brantly but even they have framework.

I assume that whatever it is was made in very small numbers or is an early version (pre-production) of a type that developed in a slightly differant format?

[MReyn24050]

Tiger_mate

You are on the right track, it is a civilian helicopter rather then military. Not a Brantly.

Safari, formally known as Baby Belle?

[MReyn24050]

Tiger_mate

That is the Baby . Apparently 600 kits have been registered. I am not sure if there are any on the UK register. You have control.

I thought that I would post a cockpit slightly differant from the norm to give a wider audience a chance:

What is it?
Where is it?

Chance-Vought Kingfisher?

Guadalcanal?

[Tiger_mate]

A Kingfisher it is, but where?

There cannot be that many of them, and it is not the United States. I will update this post with a full photo once home this evening. It does not have floats fitted.

LowNSlow has the next one.

[MReyn24050]

Tiger_mate's challenge-where is it?

How about the Museo de la Revolución Cuba?

[Tiger_mate]

It is, with a Sea Fury for company, complete with non standard canopy making for a very off looking aircraft.

[MReyn24050]

Tiger_mate

Looking at the photographs of the aircraft at the Cuban Museum, shown on the Airliners.Net, other aircraft such as the Lockheed T-33A and NA T-28 would appear to have non-standard the canopies as well.

This is the aircraft that I used for the last quizz. My son had jumped over a small fence this side of it and met an army guard complete with AK47, needless to say he needed some new underpants!

The revolution museum only has the Sea Fury and Kingfisher. The others are at a separate museum whose presence I was unaware of when visiting Cuba. As I do not intend to return to the country, I guess they will never be seen.

Is LowNSlow providing a new picture?

To keep the thread moving, here is the next challenge.
