What Cockpit? MK VI
Note, there appears to be a `steam warning` just above the rpm gauges,presumably to let the bombardier it was time for tea,or time to fill the radiators..!

As this thread has been dormant for over a week, perhaps we should consider some innovation, like "Silhouette Challenge" , which no longer deals exclusively in silhouettes.
A while back i proposed a "What Interior" thread which was suppressed on grounds of there being "too many challenge threads" - but would seem a logical extension of scope to include all interior views in addition to cockpits.

Interesting idea, Doug, and it does seem obvious that the "What Cockpit" concept has dwindled away. I'm kicking myself for not participating more than I did. Sorry 'bout that.As for "What Interior" as a replacement, I speak only for myself and I confess to being biased (I spent too much time up front with the flying glass, I guess) but personally I can't get interested in what was happening down the back.
Errrr, unless there's another drunken sports team back there. That was often a worry.
Cheers,

Doug.
There are still plenty of cockpits out there. However, I agree the thread has slowed down considerably over the recent months. Before going down the "interiors" route I do suggest you put the idea to the moderators before launching it. The problem being I can see we could get many different interiors for the same aircraft type.

The concept would have been to extend the scope rather than replace the cockpit content
Mel
The mods disapproved last time so probably would do so again - Silhouette Challenge seems to have extended scope without the need to re-apply. i agree nobody wants to see loads of different , say, 737 interiors but the last 100 years would probably provide sufficient variety
Lets leave it ....at least until the next prolonged silence.

Clues
It's an American monoplane fighter with a broad wing mounted on top of a stocky fuselage. Turns out the wing obscured forward visibility and performance wasn't any better with pilots describing it as a "menace". Only one built.

A clue seems due, or even overdue. This design is in production with at least 40 delivered. However , for at least one example there was a 7 year gap between construction and delivery.
