evansb does it again. Well done, bri.

The Super Ximango, a lovely motorglider. I would post a picture but I'm away from my laptop, on the beach at Phu Quoc, a short ATR72 ride from home

aviate1138, the lever is the fine/coarse/feather pitch control for the Hoffman prop.

Thanks Simon. Great challenge! The lack of a variometer made the motorglider an unlikely choice. Here is the next 'What Cockpit?':

Cubs2jets is correct Well done This single-engine pressurised Mooney M-22 Mustang is not to be confused wth the prototype twin-engine Mooney Mustang of the 1950s. You have control.

Guys.

Sorry for my late reply. Been out all day doing the "Cubs" part of my persona. I find that what I had ready has already been done. Forgive me...


OPEN HOUSE!

Might it be an Armstrong Whitworth AW-15 Atlanta?

Too early I now think, maybe an Ensign?

Wallowing in ground effect..........thud.

C2J you do not need the question mark, yes yes yes, I thought that would cause more problems, I didn't include you in that equation !!!!
Hope you have another ? Keith.

Give me a few hours and I WILL have a pic to post. It was just something about those yokes and rudder pedals. Thought it might have been another 4 engine airliner though.

The FW Condor did indeed enter service first as an airliner.

I have always thought that the FW 200 was a very good looking aircraft, for it's time, it was so spooky that whilst searching for that photo I found, like London buses, they come in two's, see below. Keith.

Considering its vintage, that was a pretty sanitary looking cockpit except for the 'Rube Goldberg' demisting arrangement in your second shot!

I assume the first photo was of a DLH aircraft and second shot was a military version??

OK! Sorry for the delay. Here is the next What Cockpit.



I do have a second image if this one doesn't provide enough clues.

On a note, the white rectangle is where I have removed the photographers name. I WILL give due credit when the challenge is over. (Hope I haven't broken any rules, just wanted to reduce a possible clue.)

Sycamore,

Neither the Avenger or Corsair but obviously, I think, of generally the same vintage.
