What Cockpit? MK VI

[SincoTC]

Thanks Mel,

Glad to hear that you've booted the bug

And now for something a little more modern!

[MReyn24050]

Well Trevor, I would not accuse you of sitting on the fence with this one. I believe the aircraft is still in service with a number of countries.
Mel

Good afternoon Mel,

I believe the aircraft is still in service with a number of countries

There's no way I can parry a question like that is there

As you say, it does remain in service with a number of countries!

Do you want to give me the name, or shall I award you control now

[MReyn24050]

Not yet Trevor, let it run for a bit.

[MReyn24050]

On second thoughts that is not fair on you Trevor. It is of course the Sukhoi Su24.
Mel

[SincoTC]

Thank you Mel, there' no foiling you !

As you say, it is the Sukhoi Su 24 (NATO code name Fencer)

MReyn24050 has control

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Trevor. Here is the next one. This one was not quite such an epee (ic) aircraft nor was it used for sabre rattling

[evansb]

Okay Mel, I'll bite. Based on the vertical readout format of some engine instruments, I'll surmise the cockpit is of German origin. Correct or way off?

[MReyn24050]

You are correct Bri. This aircraft was from a German Manufacturer.

[evansb]

Mel, given the asymmetrical cockpit, the radio position et al, my guess is the Heinkel He.70 Blitz mail plane.

[MReyn24050]

Bri. Sorry for the delay. The aircraft was for Civil purposes and flew about the same time as the Heinkel He.70 but this one was not manufactured by Heinkel.

[Capot]

It is of course the Sukhoi Su24.

It's the

of course

that gets to us mere mortals.

[SincoTC]

Of course; this one is a bit more difficult !!! I have been looking, honest I have guv

[MReyn24050]

Of course; this one is a bit more difficult !!! I have been looking, honest I have guv

Time for a few clues perhaps. Built and flown circa 1930 designed for "passenger work on medium services".

[SincoTC]

Thank you Mel,

Based on the new information, how about the Focke-Wulf A.32 Bussard ??

[MReyn24050]

That is the one Trevor. The Focke-Wulf A.32 Bussard.

The Focke-Wulf A 32 Bussard (German: "Buzzard") was a small airliner produced in Germany in the early 1930s. It was developed rapidly at the request of NOBA when Messerschmitt was unable to deliver aircraft on schedule. Based closely on the A 20, the A 32 had a revised fuselage with greater seating capacity, and an engine of over twice the power. The two examples operated by NOBA became part of Deutsche Luft Hansa's fleet in 1934

You have control.

[SincoTC]

Thanks Mel,

That was a great challenge

I can't log onto PB at the moment, |I will put up anther one ASAP.

[SincoTC]

Apologies for the delay, slow connection kept timing-out!

Here's the next mystery cockpit!

[MReyn24050]

Looking at the aircraft in the background are we in a Russian Aircraft Museum? If so the aircraft must be Russian, single engine perhaps.

[SincoTC]

Good morning Mel,

It is Russian, in a Russian Museum and it has twin tractor propellers
