Mel's Challenge

You have it Bri the Yak15

Sorry for the delay in answering I was solving another quiz.

You have control.

Thanks Mel. Solving the AviaQuiz perhaps? Here is the next mystery cockpit:

[aviate1138]

Mmmmm.... I'll try the Aviation Technology Group Javelin

[evansb]

Not the ATG Javelin, but it is a VLJ. The version shown has the optional glass cockpit.

[aviate1138]

How about a Viperjet Mk II perhaps?

[evansb]

Yes, aviate1138, it is indeed the American Viperjet MkII Your turn.

[aviate1138]

Thanks evansb, will be digging something up shortly.......

Here we go........

aviate1138's challenge

Looks like a tri-motor circa 1920s.

Junkers G.31 - Lufthansa.
Amazingly I had scanned the very same photo waiting for the next opportunity to post..........................Doug

[aviate1138]

I have a dilemma. Mel posted me a PM [because he is so knowledgeable] with the solution hours before one11 replied to the What Cockpit thread with the correct answer.
So it is up to one 11, well done!, but if he wants Mel to post an as yet unidentified cockpit, so be it.



G 31 photo taken with a fast shutter speed or demonstrating flight using the port engine only!

Next Challenge.

It is Doug's call. He came up with the answer in the thread so the honour rests with him.

Thanks Mel - Am i right that the main reason for using PM's to send an identification is so as not be thought to be hogging the thread ?

Anyway here goes with my next which does not seem to have featured before

....Doug

[one11]

24+ hours of silence so maybe a clue is called for - several of this types descendents have already appeared on this thread , none survive in their home country....................Doug

[evansb]

Parnall Hendy Heck ?

[one11]

Not a Hendy Heck but built by Parnall for the designer, whose name it carried.........

[MReyn24050]

Possibly the Hendy 302? Designed by Basil B Henderson, known familiarly as 'Hendy' Henderson. The aircraft was an advanced concept for its time.
Mel

[MReyn24050]

I will change that due to your comment

a clue is called for - several of this types descendents have already appeared on this thread , none survive in their home country.

as only one Hendy 302 was ever built G-AAVT which became a 302A and was entered in the 1935 Wakefield Cup Race and survived until 1938 when it was finally withdrawn at Gravesend.
I will now suggest the aircraft is a Percival Gull designed by Edgar Percival.
Mel

Thats it - Percival Gull Four G-ACGR, splendidly restored for display in the Aviation Museum section of the Royal Army Museum in Brussels after spending almost 40 years in a Belgian barn following write off after a forced landing ended in the River Schelde in 1934. Seen here with a similar vintage Talbot from the nearby Autoworld museum


Over to you, Mel.

[MReyn24050]

No takers, I was expecting this one to go fairly quickly. Time for a clue, this aircraft type carried the markings of opposing sides.
