What Cockpit? MK V

[evansb]

Yes Mel, it is a Bloch 160. Over to you.

evansb's challenge

Thanks evansb, it was the extra window below the normal side window together with the engine intruments, which are almost identical to those on the Languedoc, which led me to the Bloch 160.
New one to follow shortly.

Next Challenge

Here is an easy one for a Saturday afternoon, I apologise that the image is not one of the best.

Nothing you put in is ever easy Mel

How about something along the lines of a Fairey Battle?

[MReyn24050]

Now that is not always true.
Not a the Fairey Battle this aircraft was a single seater.

[Spot 4]

It shares a lot of similarities with a Gladiator, so I would suggest British fighter, early WWII from the Gloster or Hawker stable.

I considered a BP Defiant but cannot find any references and in any case believe that it had no forward firing armanent.

You are correct in your assumption that this aircraft is British and early WWII, however it is not from the Gloster, Hawker or Boulton Paul stables.

It was fitted with forward firing armanent.

It wouldn't be a Tornado would it?

[larssnowpharter]

One humbly requests permission to withdraw stupid suggestion having just seen that it is not from the Hawker stable!

[MReyn24050]

Permission granted. It is obvious our posts overlapped as the time shows.

I'm not 100% certain about this, but I think it may be the Miles M20, "emergency" fighter, with a Merlin engine, eight guns and a fixed undercarriage?

[MReyn24050]

682al

Great to see you back on form. It is indeed the miles M.20

You have control
Mel

[682al]

Thanks Mel.
I have to say a port view of the panel would have helped me make up my mind a bit quicker - i.e. absence of undercarriage indicator!
Here's mine. I really am running short of candidates.

Pacific Aerospace CT4B Airtrainer?.... (just checked, not a jet)

Try HAL HJT-16 Kiran

[Tiger_mate]

Saab 105 jet trainer

[682al]

Well that didn't last long, I hardly had time to make a brew.

Tiger_Mate has it!

[Tiger_mate]

Sorry folks... I am just back from time away at sunny locations and have not even unpacked yet, can somebody step in to keep the thread going?

[Akubra]

Heres and interesting one to keep the ball rolling.

If someone can find an "in cockpit" photo, I would like to see it.

[windriver]

Berlin B9?

[Akubra]

Not the B9 windriver.
