What Cockpit? MK VI

[MReyn24050]

Curtiss A3 perhaps?

[evansb]

Yes Mel, you are correct. You have control.

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Bri. Here is one a few years earlier:-

Mel, is that an Earth Inductor Compass housed in a box in the upper right portion of the instrument panel ?

[MReyn24050]

Bri. I think you may be correct it certainly looks like it.

Morning/Evening Mel.

A long shot, from a long way away. The R.E.8...?

[MReyn24050]

That is the one graeme, the Harry Tate, the Royal Aircraft Factory Re.8.


You have control.

[Noyade]

Thanks Mel. Very lucky shot - reminds me of the archer at the Olympics at Barcelonea lighting the torch...speaking of which, is James Bond really going to open the London Olympics?

Next...

[Noyade]

Oh dear. Reading the caption (in the sunlight) it would appear this is a "completely refitted front cockpit", which I guess would make searching for rather difficult?

My sincere apologies, again. It was the Rawdon T-1.

Open House.

[MReyn24050]

Open House! Try this one:-

[Noyade]

Yank?
1939-45?

[MReyn24050]

Graeme. Yes the aircraft was from the USA, it was designed between 1939 and 1945 and first flew towards the end of WWII.

Navy `dive-bomber`?

[MReyn24050]

It was designed as a dive bomber and torpedo bomber.

Evening Mel,

I think that may be the Kaiser-Fleetwings XBTK-1 ??

[MReyn24050]

HI Trevor it is indeed the Kaiser-Fleetwings XBTK-1

[SincoTC]

Thanks Mel,

I could only find photos of the side panels, but there was a tiny overlap onto the main panel in one corner of the RH one !

Cockpits are easier than silhouettes to prepare; the big problem is finding one that's not on your list

Here's one that isn't (I hope)!

[sabredog]

Yakovlev Yak11?

[SincoTC]

You are correct (as usual) SD

It is the Yakovlev Yak-11



sabredog has control

Thank you,SincoTC. Apologies for "Hanging" the thread overnight, I should have added "ususal rules apply" to my answer.
The next challenge;
