Another shot of John in action on another movie.

The mind just `boggles` at the thought of trying to read instruments beyond one`s feet ! Cockpit ergonomics were obviously considered. Some helicopter,probably on skids,must be USA,or Quebec....

Yes, aviate1138, it is a Rotorway Exec self-built helicopter. You have control.

The similarity in appearance is quite striking. Different country of manufacture. Around 320 built. I think only one DH 11 Oxford was flown?

I believe it is the cockpit of an AEG G.IV. I've viewed a verson of the aircraft whilst visiting my nation's aviation museum in Ottawa.

Thumbs up

Once again evansb you are the Main Man. You have control.

Another view of the G.IV - taken from almost the same angle

Thanks. Your G.IV cockpit photo shows propellor FOD screens to protect the gunner/observer, absent in the subsequent photos.

Perhaps this cockpit challenge will draw new participants to this thread?:

Clues: The above cockpit is a mockup, and the construction technology of the proposed aircraft represents a first for the company and a first for the category.

Being a Learjet fan could that be the Learjet 85? The first all composite Lear body since the Learfan!
