What Cockpit? MK VI

[evansb]

Yes, Mel. Well spotted! The red, green and purple lines quickly identified the navigators and pilots who faked the colour test. You can't navigate with DECCA if you are afflicted with protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia.

I think it`s a Hovercraft...

[sabredog]

SRN6 Hovercraft?

[evansb]

Terrence is correct. The long-serving Saunders-Roe SR.N6.

You have control.

[sabredog]

Thank you,Brian, but I think control should go to Sycamore.
I am somewhat surprised that he did not follow through with his inspired "Hovercraft" suggestion!

[sycamore]

Sorry, all yours....couldn`t find any pics..

[sabredog]

Thank you Sycamore.

Re. evansb's post 6880:

I don't think it's the SRN 6 as this was a single engine hovercraft. I've found the same photo but I think the caption is wrong.

The SRN 3 and SRN 4 were both 4 engined but these don't look right either.

Any ideas?

I think it is the Saunders Roe SRN2 as the window layout matches the photograph evansb submitted.

Also the SRN2 also had 4 engines. (4 x 815 shp Bristol Siddeley Nimbus engines
- 2 for lift, 2 for propulsion)

This video has an great shot of the cockpit at about 4.05 Mins which confirms that it is the SRN2 complete with Decca Navigator.
