I will be away from a computer for the next few days, so I've asked Mel to step in for me, and respond to your answers.

evansb's challenge

No further takers for Bri's challenge? I can say the aircraft first flew mid 1980s.
I have updated the list of What Cockpit's presented to date. It can be found at the What Cockpit & aerodrome "sticky".

Not the NDN Firecracker nor the ENAER T-35 Pillan. This aircraft was a very similar type.

Thanks Mel.
Here is a new challenge.
(Before anyone asks, this aircraft was not made by Cessna.)

Yes, well done Mel. It is the Windecker AC-7 Eagle. One of the first of the plastic aeroplanes. The USAF bought some to test against radar.
Over to you.

Planegill, Thanks, I must admit your reference to the clue being in the photograph helped. Here is the next one, a nice easy one.

Sorry chaps neither the Type 452-2 nor the Saab 21R. Welcome back Bri, I trust you had a great leave.
