Is this one of those high production number machines from one of the major instagators of what is coloquially known as WWII?
Maybe someone new can take a try at it.

What Cockpit and What Aerodrome latest Lists. Update 24/08/08

As for the rest I claim a software glitch -which I am investigating.

No, stevef had the correct answer first, so the honours fall to him!
He 162 developed under Project Salamander was the so-called Volksjaeger (Peoples' fighter) and was also known as the Spatz (sparrow) by the Luftwaffe.
Dangerous little sod for its pilots, I gather, some of whom were intended to be Hitler Youth with just a few hours on gliders.....

Even after 40 years you can see that Beags has not forgotten one of the cardinal rules of RAF College Cadetmanship ( Never allow yourself to get lumbered).
stevef has thus neatly been put in the frame and now has control.

What Cockpit List
Sorry Geoff my mistake the Heinkel He 162 Salamander was posted by, of all people, myself on What Cockpit V on the 24 Feruary 2007 at Page 40 Post #793. I had recorded on the progress list but somehow it was missed off the list of posted aircraft. My apologies for any embarrassment caused.

Not as big a b*ll*ck as my leaving the name on the image! I thought that I had successfully retitled the picture on Photobucket- didn't expect it that it could carry through from my desk top!
All part of the fun and not to be taken seriously. It also showed an unusual retreat from his dotage by Beags :he will now have something to chuckle into his cocoa over- before his next relapse.

Sadly quite a few no longer with us though.
Shorn like sheep by 'Slasher' only moments after we arrived, then marching around everywhere in suits or blazers in fear and trembling of the Senior Entry. Then the delights of 'crowing' until we gained 'privilege'....
I'd hate to think what the PC and H&S folk would have to say about all that!!
Anyway, cocoa be buggered! I'm sipping champagne in the Star Alliance Gold lounge at Frankfurt as I type. Now back to the thread - looking forward to the next photo!
This is the only one I've got to hand at the moment - it shouldn't pose any problems.
Oops - my mistake, it's been covered before. It can run on or open house.
Steve.

If you pull, and release, the knob on the right, a small ball bearing moves among the many openings in front, depending upon which hole it stops in you will get a score ! and maybe a replay
Or could this be a Mk 1 instrument flying trainer ? later replaced by the Mk 2 with instruments ?
Or my way of saying ... No Idea .... at the moment ? Keith.
