What Cockpit? MK VI

[Fitter2]

Hello Norwich

Was Kitbag's subtle offering right or wrong? If wrong, another cluette maybe in order, but my assumption is that a pusher canard is pictured.

[norwich]

Aha ! Mmmm .... I have been looking at Kitbags criptic question ?? and am finding it difficult to find a link ?? maybe just my limited knowledge ??

Fitter2 ... yes pusher and carnard are in there ... two seater ... one in front ... one behind ?? not the best of safety record ... and as of 1 second ago I have looked at G-INFO and, to my amazement !, found this to be the only UK based example of this aircraft ??

Keith.

Hi Kitbag

probably not a Cozy then, although there is only one Cozy Classic on G-INFO.

Further investigation necessary.

[Kitbag]

Stabbing very wildly- Berkut 360?

[norwich]

Kitbag, Stabbing very wildly pays of sometimes !! Spot on ...
The floor is yours

Photo taken a few days ago ... Keith.

[Kitbag]

B@gger!

It was such a wild stab based on descriprtion I didn't bother to look again til this morning, apologies if someone with a real puzzler is waiting in the wings, the floor is all yours.

Open House

Here is one to keep this thread alive:

[stevef]

Douglas DC2 by the look of the yokes and pedestal.

[evansb]

Yes, stevef, it is a KLM DC-2. Note the compass. You have control.

[stevef]

Can't be many cockpit pictures not covered now!
I don't think this one's come up before:
Easy one, though.

[sycamore]

CASA 1-11 or He 1-11 in old money ,with a British twist..

[stevef]

Neither of those, I'm afraid, Sycamore.

[evansb]

Siebel Si-204 ?

[stevef]

Bri has it.
Over to you.

[evansb]

Thanks Steve! Here is the next mystery cockpit:

Clue: When carrying the mail, one of these ships was known as ZEPHIR.

[India Four Two]

All four were "Aeolus," "Zephir," "Pampero" and "Zyklon"?

Do 18 diesel flying boat. Nice Popular Mechanics link here:

Popular Mechanics - Google Books


I didn't realize the engine had a dual-crankshaft with opposed pistons in the same cylinder.

Open house if correct.

[evansb]

India Four Two is correct.

Best regards,

Bri

Inspired by another thread, hope this gets people thinking:

[Fitter2]

I'm guessing the cockpit shown is in Nevada, and the rest of the airframe is on a Predator in the 'stan.
