What Cockpit? MK VI

[MReyn24050]

Morning Trevor. An interesting aircraft that was the subject of an AviaQuiz challenge I believe not that long ago. The Antonov An 181?

[SincoTC]

I remembered seeing it on a low-loader, thought it was on SC, but now you mention it I think it was AQ. What pleased me was that it wasn't on your List, as so many ones I hope to use are !!

Yes, it is the Antonov An 181, a channel wing research aircraft that I believe ran out of funding before it flew



You have control

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Trevor. Here is another one from way back I am afraid:-

[SincoTC]

Hmm! Yes, I saw this one last night when I was looking on the web for your Bussard cockpit photo, in fact it was on the same page, (and I bet you've got the book), but the text was too distorted to read, otherwise I would have been tempted to use it myself !

So by a process of elimination, to mix metaphors, I think it's another bird from the same stable; the Focke Wulf A-43 Falke ??

[MReyn24050]

You have got it Trevor it is indeed the Focke Wulf A-43 Falke.


You have control once again.

[SincoTC]

Thanks Mel,

Here's the next one, its progenitor has been on here many years ago, but this variant is said to have had a new cockpit, although this one looks a little tired!!



back to work now, but will leave my light on and monitor when possible

[sycamore]

Certainly not a Miles Magister, more like ` Le Fouga `one...? Ouvrez la Porte ?

[SincoTC]

Evening sycamore, you're on the right track there; now let me know what this one is called

[sycamore]

A plain vanilla CM170 Magister...? OH if correct

[SincoTC]

a plain vanilla CM170 Magister...?

Sorry, it's not; take note of what I said when I posted it !

[MReyn24050]

Fouga CM.175 Zéphyr perhaps?

[SincoTC]

Sorry Mel, not the Zephyr!

[Noyade]

Evening Trevor. Fouga 90? Or are we all on the wrong track?

Edit... Second thoughts. The 90 cockpit would look more modern than this?

[SincoTC]

G'day Graeme,

It's a Fouga design, but not made in France

[MReyn24050]

Then it has to be the Israeli IAI CM-170R Tzukit.

[SincoTC]

Then it has to be the Israeli IAI CM-170R Tzukit

It is indeed Mel, well done

The Israeli Air Force operated a license manufactured version, the IAI Tzukit. While principally a trainer, it was used in the 1967 Six Day War by 147 Squadron as a close support aircraft, attacking targets on the Egyptian front during the first day of the war, when Israel's more capable combat aircraft were deployed on Operation Focus against Arab air bases. They were then deployed against Jordanian forces, including armour, on the West Bank. The Magister proved effective at the close-support mission albeit with heavy casualties, with six being lost

MReyn24050 has control again

[Noyade]

German?

Potez-Heinkel P 191?

Or...

[Noyade]

Disregard that.

Well done Mel. Feeling better? Back to doing a 100 push-ups in the morning?

[MReyn24050]

Hi Graeme. Fine thanks, I gave up doing those years ago.
Here is the next one. This aircraft has been done before but in a production version.
