Wow, I had totally dismissed that type as being far too modern, turns out it was a 1947 design! See it was o the UK rgister when the picture was taken.

A lot of good things came out of '47 !!

Have you found the photo HQ, I'm too busy to look at the moment, but I remember seeing the aircraft donkey's years ago and remembering that canopy!

Morning, you have it SincoTC it is indeed the LeVier Cosmic Wind, actual picture taken around the 1970 in the UK. It is a picture of this aircraft...



I was in awe of both "Ballerina" and "Little Toni" on the UK F1 racing circuit in the 70's when my Father was flying a Beta against them!

SincoTC has control.

Thanks '866,

Nice little aircraft, Neil Williams was flying it when I saw it.

This should be an easy one, surprised it's not on the list, the one I wanted to use of the same name had been used far too many times already!!!

Looks a bit like a Gunsight at the top. Basic and flimsy fuselage structure. I'm thinking American trainer that failed in a competition to replace the T37?

As soon as evansb put that in I see it, except I think I'm out by about 30 years, T37 and this were competing for the same contract.

evansb has it!

A very nice personal aircraft, by the looks of this one, even if it didn't meet the military's needs.

Hmmm... Thinking out loud...

Slow...
Twin engine...
No caution range, so turbine...
No handle etc, so fixed gear...
Unpressurised...
Utilitarian...
Red levers are confusing, does it have PEC?
Kitted for single pilot, so <5.7 tonnes

...similar power gauges with slightly dis-similar limitations...
Unfamiliar units, perhaps...
What's the box above the three nav/comms?

What an interesting conundrum!

You lads are very good, but it is not Russian.

The latest version of the mystery cockpit is available with glass cockpit avionics.

Thinking about those gauges: is it a puller/pusher?

Sorry, not a CASA 212. Like the CASA 212, it is available in military and civilian versions, and is widely exported.
