Judging by this photograph showing the cockpit windshields and the lump visible in the forward part of the windscreen I would say the incivil beast has it

Hi Mel. Many thanks. I am a cockpit enthusiast and cockpit photo collector since I was a schoolboy. I am surprised I had not come across this thread earlier on the web. I am amazed at your knowledge and diversity of subjects. I hope I can add a few more interesting ones. David G

Hi David.
As you will see the thread has been running for over two years having been started by Mr_Grubby. It can be seen from the list posted above at Post#481 that we have covered some 900 cockpits with only about 50 repeats. I believe there are still many more to come. I was very impressed that you came up with such a great challenge for your first posting but as a cockpit enthusiast and cockpit photo collector for many years we can expect some more great challenges.

larssnowpharter did you mean Lesce-Bled, Slovenia ?
If yes you may have posted on the wrong thread
(and besides, it's already been posted).
If not, this one has nothing to do with any variant of the Apis/Silent familiy.

You have indeed, it is the Antares 20E built by Lange Flugzeugbau, the largest (and IMHO nicest) electrical self-launching glider

You are too modest, David. Hardly a guess and in record time, to boot. Well done! You have control.
A fascinating, if unusual, aircraft. Twin tails, but only one rudder. Aileron deployment varied -- and reversed -- according to the angle of bank. One brake pedal on the floor, as in a car. Pusher 90hp Continental. Certified in 1950, five aircraft built before the company collapsed in 1953. Two birds remain, apparently, and one has been restored.

New Challenge
Thanks Oz. I remembered seeing that view from an old advertisement. (I had to take my mind off the 20/20 cricket debacle last night!)
Here is a new challenge for you all.

Very good tip Dan, also look out for rudder pedals as some have company logos on them, as well as some horn buttons in the center of yokes.
