What Cockpit? MK VI

[evansb]

Thanks Mechta! Unusual challenge. Here is the next "What Cockpit?":

[Super Cecil]

Gondola off something?

[evansb]

Gondola? It is a bi-plane.

[Harley Quinn]

Was going to be obvious and say Front seat of a Gunbus, but I wonder if it isn't an RAF FE2?

[Super Cecil]

Stick looks fixed.

[evansb]

Not a Vickers F.B.5 Gunbus, nor RAF FE2. That is not the joystick, it is a gun mount. The joystick is not in the drawing, nor is the gun.

A Morane Saulnier Type N Bullet?

[evansb]

Sorry, not the M.S. type N. As mentioned, it is a biplane. The windscreen, also not included in the drawing, was mounted just above the gun pass-through.

[Mechta]

How about the F.E.8 ?

[evansb]

Not the R.A.F. F.E.8, but similiar in configuration. The mystery aircraft is a bit older.

[VX275]

DH2
I presume what was thought to be the control column is the mount for the Vickers machine gun.

[evansb]

VX275 is correct Most likely a .303 Lewis gun. The De Havilland D.H.2, also built under Airco DH-2.
There is a flying replica DH-2 based in England. You have control.

[Capot]

VX275, I've taken the liberty of trying variations of that URL

and got this, which I hope is what you wanted,

[Mechta]

General Aircraft Hamilcar Glider ?

[VX275]

Capot thanks for that, you can tell this was my first attempt at posting pictures can' you. I'll go back to the posting tips and figure out what I'm not doing right.

Mechta, No not the Hamilcar, now you just need to go through all the other wooden gliders.

[MReyn24050]

The next obvious wooden glider is the General Aircraft Hotspur.

[VX275]

Sorry not the Hotspur

[aviate1138]

I will try the Slingsby Hengist?

[VX275]

Getting colder with the Hengist. This cockpit belonged to a one off (of sorts)
