What Cockpit? MK VI

[aviate1138]

Spot on! Well done Keith!





Your hand on the stick.....

Thanks for that aviate 1138, sorry for the delay , unplanned long day ! I have nothing ready at the mo so must declare OPEN HOSE ! Keith.

[evansb]

Great challenge aviate1138. Good eye Keith! Here is the next 'What Cockpit?':

[Kitbag]

Possibly a/the Gloster F9/37?

[evansb]

Sorry, not the Gloster F9/37. The mystery aircraft entered serial production and saw military action.

[Dick Whittingham]

Surely those instrument floodlights come from the parts bin of some well known manufacturer!

[evansb]

Most American-made aircraft built during WW.II flew with Grimes lighting products. I don't know who supplied the mystery ship's lighting.

[aviate1138]

A wild stab..... Westland Welkin?

[evansb]

Sorry, not the Westland Welkin. The mystery ship was not made in the U.K.

[Agaricus bisporus]

So, we seem to have an American built, WWII single/tandem seat, low/mid wing, relatively low speed, twin radial machine that saw military service and had aspirations to look like Concorde inside.

Army liason/spotter perhaps role?

Mr Evans, how are we doing on the above descriptions?

Flummoxed!

[evansb]

Sorry, not American. Designed in 1936, it was considered avant at the Paris Air Show. Crew of two. Radial engines. Medium speed. Today, it would be classed as an air superiority fighter, but was considered a 'heavy fighter' when built.

[RETDPI]

Just popped by . Fokker G.1.
Haven't anything to post this time but promise to do better in future.

[evansb]

Yes. It is a Fokker G.1.

[norwich]

Hi all, just deleted my previous post, found it had been done before ! So here goes with another realy easy shot. Keith.

[Agaricus bisporus]

Beech Staggerwing?

[norwich]

Ab, Not the stagerwing sorry. Keith.

[evansb]

Hi Keith,

Great cockpit shot! Excellent detail! I do know this one, but I'll wait a few days until a tyro gets it!


Bri

[Agaricus bisporus]

We just ain't in the same class, are we?

[norwich]

So aviation authority bri knows ? and Agaricus Bisporus's attempt are not yet mushrooming ...... hopefully others will come along with help. Keith.

[aviate1138]

I share Agaricus' feeling of being in the dark! Too many accomplished cockpiteers on this thread!
