What Cockpit? MK VI

[evansb]

For a change-of-pace, I won't be giving any clues on this challenge.

[Cubs2jets]

You don't need to give any clues. It's the sole Fairchild XNQ-1.

C2j

[evansb]

C2j is correct Well done You have control.

[Cubs2jets]

Good morning all.

Thunderstorm two nights ago caused a power surge that took out my computer. I'm having to rebuild everything here so , with apologies, OPEN HOUSE.

C2j, back soonest I hope ! Meanwhile another easy one, that I am surprised has not here before ??? Keith.

[twochai]

You're right, Keith, so I guess we can check off the Boeing 707?

Can't be sure of the series, but might be an early -320, perhaps Air France?

Or is that Tex Johnson incognito???

[norwich]

Yes Twochai, correct again It is VH-EBB a 707-138B "soon after delivery" to Qantas. I think thats a lovely 'period' picture. Over to you. Keith.

[twochai]

Ahh, must be a younger John Travolta!

Sorry, I'm otherwise engaged so must declare: OPEN HOUSE!

[innuendo]

Slightly OT but, one thing I do not have any fond nostalgia for in the 707 picture is the headset shown. Those things were agony on my ears after too short a time. It did not take me long to buy my own Telex headset which was worth every penny. I think the companies must have got them WW11 surplus.

Just to fill in before twochai posts the next cockpit... I came across this ad with a mystery cockpit from 1960.... I think it may be a Victor, but am not sure. - certainly looks like the view from inside a letterbox. (I`d imagine!)

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Here is the next cockpit challenge:

[twochai]

Fokker S.14 Machtrainer??

[evansb]

twochai is correct You have control.

[twochai]

I recall seeing locally built versions of the Fokkedr S.14 operate in Brazil during the late '60's.

Our next challenge, should not last long:

[ozbeowulf]

That's a Boeing 377 cockpit, but the engine instruments look like gas turbine gauges, so I'll guess this is a turboprop-powered Guppy.

If that's correct, make it open house.

Glenn

[twochai]

Right on, Ozbeowulf, the turbine powered Super Guppy it is.

OPEN HOUSE.

Wild guess, A-6 Intruder?

[India Four Two]

No, not the A-6, but this aircraft and the A-6 share one unusual similarity.
