What Cockpit? MK VI

[asw28-866]

Quite correct BSD, it is the one and only Cranfield A1...



BSD, You have control.

'866

[BSD]

Cheers to you Asw28-866!

My attempt at posting a cockpit has failed, OH I'm afraid.

Off to work in the early am, back next week.

Best to all,

BSD.

p.s. Been a while since I was last in the Kimberley country. Incredible place..

[Noyade]

Just a different model to the one on Mel's list...

[MReyn24050]

No takers? Dornier 217K I believe.

[Noyade]

That's the one Mel.

Your control.

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Graeme.
Here is the next:-

[Noyade]

Front windscreen is vertical or near-vertical?

[MReyn24050]

As you say, certainly very little rake on it Graeme.

[Noyade]

European Mel?

[MReyn24050]

Not European nor USA.

[Noyade]

Military?
Just the pilot? Or is there a crew/passenger/s?

[Peter-RB]

DH 86?

PeterR-B
Lancashire

[MReyn24050]

PeterR-B this aircraft was not British.
Graeme. The aircraft was designed and built for military purposes just a couple of years before WWII.. It had a crew of 2. It did not go into service

Well, I was thinking it may be just the pilot with a heavily armoured flat windscreen, but now something like the Il-10? Gunner at the back?

Not European

Russian?

[MReyn24050]

Not the Il-10 but correct country. This was a fast machine, it was an unusual twin engined aircraft.

[skytrain10]

Is it the Bolkhovitinov S?

[MReyn24050]

You have it Ken. The Bolkhovitinov S


You have control.

[skytrain10]

Thanks Mel...wouldn't have got there without the clues

Edit, challenge withdrawn as just noticed we've had it before.

Will have to be Open House

[skytrain10]

Here's one that's not on the list!

[skytrain10]

To help you along with this, what looks like a central windscreen strut is actually the prop in the vertical position. Quite a common aircraft
