What Cockpit? MK VI

[evansb]

skytrain10 is spot on Well done Your turn.

[skytrain10]

Thanks evansb. A good one, with the open door conveniently hiding all those struts!

Here we go:

[Cubs2jets]

G-159 Gulfstream I?

C2j

[skytrain10]

Not a Gulfstream 1 C2j.

[Kerling-Approsh KG]

...a Metroliner perhaps?

[sycamore]

Maybe a Convair 580/Metro ?

[evansb]

Fairchild (Swearingen) Merlin ?

[skytrain10]

...a Metroliner perhaps?

Close, but....no

Fairchild (Swearingen) Merlin

That's the one evansb. To be specific the Merlin IIIA. Well done

Here's the owner of the cockpit!



evansb has control

[evansb]

Thanks! I've always liked the look of the Merlin. Here is the next challenge:

[Kerling-Approsh KG]

Aaah, I had a bad feeling about that; almost went searching for a solution to the right hand column of engine instruments (a feature of the Merlin but not the Metro)...

[Kerling-Approsh KG]

...but THAT is a C525A... Or a CJ1+ or 2+ if you're paying cash.

[evansb]

KG is in the ballpark. A CJ3 says the caption. Your control

[Kerling-Approsh KG]

Thanks Evans,

It's the 3 or 4 perhaps or a + (see the fadec switches left of the throttle quadrant), but no matter - impossible to tell them apart from the image, I think...

Haven't got my piccies hard drive with me, so...

OPEN HOUSE!

I forgot to add that this is a mock-up of the attack version of this aircraft...

Cheers.

[skytrain10]

Gulfstream 600 Peregrine - not that I'm aware of an attack version, but you never know!

[Noyade]

Gulfstream 600 Peregrine

Ken, look that up on Wiki and you'll find this aircraft mentioned.....

attack version

Only a mock-up with this one, but the trainer version was built.

[skytrain10]

Evening Graeme - from the clue the Fairchild T-46. Looked at that one last night but cockpit layout seemed a lot different from your picture - there again I could only find the trainer as opposed to the attack variant (AT-46?).

[Noyade]

Fairchild T-46.

It is mate! Your control.

Fairchild T-46 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There was potential for some overseas sales as well, such as in the light ground attack role in addition to its role as a trainer.

Thanks Graeme. Let's give this one a go:
