Monday's Challenge
I don`t have the list to hand so it's possible the challenge type may have already featured in What Cockpit...

At a guess- a ground rig meant to simulate some aspects of the HP Victor cockpit or systems.

Not the Victor Kitbag ... but your reasoning is sound.

Well its not a Vulcan, so...Vickers Valiant? Looking at the shoulder patches of some of the observers I don't think they are regulars, anyone else thoughts on that?

Control yoke looks similar to the Scottish Twin Pioneer so perhaps a Ground Rig for the Twin Pin

Not the Twin Pin... or the Valiant. - The personnel are RCAF.

Yes it's the Comet


From an Air Clues Article January 1953 - The What Cockpit challenge image showed the mockup at the DH Technical School.

You have control Kitbag.

Thanks windriver.

Not a W Armadillo, an Armstrong Whitworth Armadillo!
Anyway, just noticed, it looks like someone has been at the label at the top centre of the instrument panel. The shape is reminiscent of the Fairey company logo but I don't think it is one of their products. Anyone else prepared to have a go?

Whilst I find this thread hugely entertaining, I don't normally have a clue. However, there seems to be another wing above - i.e a triplane - the Sopwith perhaps?

Sorry, VitaminGee, not a Sopwith. The aircraft in question was produced more than 10 years after the Triplane.
