What Cockpit? MK VI

[Tu.114]

Noone? Then let me offer this in the meanwhile:

[Ridge Runner]

a Ju188?????

[Tu.114]

Ridge Runner, this plane has been influenced by Junkers designs indeed, but it is no Ju188.

[Tu.114]

Although this is a drawing, this plane has actually been built and flown. It was not built in series however and did not see combat duty.

[Ridge Runner]

One of the Russian copies/projects based on Jus?

[Noyade]

The OKB-1 EF-140 maybe?

[Tu.114]

Ridge Runner - this aircraft has been built in Germany, but the Red Army took it to the USSR for flight testing. Noyade - yes, OKB-1 was heavily involved in this aircraft. It is not the EF-140 though.

[S'land]

Could it be the Ju EF-132?

[Ridge Runner]

Therfore the EF-131?

[Tu.114]

Ridge runner, you are right - it is the EF-131, a development of the Ju 287 jet bomber with six Jumo 004 mounted in sets of three below the wings. It was discontinued despite promising test flights, as it was deemed too small - Soviet interest shifted to much larger strategic bombers.

Your control.

Thanks Tu.114. I have nothing at the moment so OPEN HOUSE

The description of the Ju287 fits the bill, but the photos don't match the sketch.

Mel,

Just based purely on the appearance of the stick, is it German?

[MReyn24050]

Hi I42. No this aircraft was not from Germany.
