This is the first time in this thread that I've seen the whole aircraft and I've still not got clue to what it is.

Okay, I think we've had enough of the floating alien head. It's the Canadian 21st Century Airships SPAS 13 of 1994, registration C-FRLM, which was a semi-rigid helium airship demonstrator powered by two 50 hp Rotax 503 engines.

Open House.

Hmm...three joysticks. I have a hunch, but I'll let others have a stab.

Sorry sycamore, but no.

On "Silhouette Challenge" we usually stick to the 24 hour rule, so I might have to reveal it soon.

Clue shortly.

Thought it was the X-15 at first glance,but the curved coaming looked like a w/screen arch,whereas the X-15 one was a chisel.
OH....

But it is the X-15.

There appear to be several versions/modifications.

The thread is all yours.

Rats, you've posted the only other cockpit I had available, although my version has a No 62 wireless set in the right hand panel.

bri,

It's morning here and I've just seen your post. Initially I thought high-wing Piper or Taylorcraft or something like that, but then I saw the dreadful panel layout and and the British tachometer, and then read your Squaddie hint and wondered if there were Any Other Possibilities?
