Canberra? If it is not sure what type..

[windriver]

Re the challenge aircraft.. looks like a British Twin Jet circa 50's but the most likely candidates are all on the list... Can we rule out this as being a variant of a type on the list?

[mustpost]

Ahh - the list. I'm now guessing it's an early Canberra - B2?

In this case you should not rule that out. I posted this one for a thread member who said that if he posted it it would be instantly identified.

You are almost there but it is not the B2.

English Electric Canberra PR9 then

Mel's Challenge

You have it.
It is indeed a English Electric Canberra PR9, it may even be Serial No XH175.
The previous Canberra published on the first What Cockpit thread was a Mk62.

You have control.

Thanks (takes bow) a bit of a cheat as my uncle worked at English Electric for most of his working life . Wow - what a list..
However I don't think this one has gone


Good luck - back soon

[old,not bold]

Strikes me it might be a "flying wing" design, but I can't find one with that particular little windshield and open cockpit..........

[windriver]

I`m thinking along similar lines... DH108 perhaps?

[MReyn24050]

mustpost's challenge

A little bit older than the DH.108 I believe. mustpost check PMs please.

mustpost's challenge

Horton Ho.IX V1?

[mustpost]

Ahh - gentlemen, there you have me. Corrected as being the Horten HO.IX.V1 - also known to all and sundry as the last card in the Axis pack as the Gotha Go 229. Sorry for the repeat.
Well done to EvansB who picks up the baton, and to another who PM'd me and was also entirely correct.
A friend laughingly suggested a P.. and a F... But wait - they haven't been done! Will try to win again - what a good thread. (Sorry about the Spitfire cockpit flame..)

mustpost. Great challenge, welcome to the thread. Here is a good link regarding the Ho.IX's instruments.

Here is the next cockpit challenge:

[mustpost]

Is it a late Katana? Despite gossip and rumours I have flown in an early one a few times, and I'm trying to prove that my memory is still there (without Googling - it's too late)

[Planegill]

With that instrument panel to one side and forward low windscreen, it looks like an amphibian with a front door. A homebuilt or heavily modified Seabee? (I think the Spencer Air Car has a stick.) The only other candidate I can think of is the Canadian TR-1 Trigull from the 1960s, although this is much moderner than that. (It had the same control column arrangement in front of the instrument panel as the Seabee. It looks like it could be accomodated in the slot visible in the photo.)

[evansb]

Planegill is correct. It is the Trident Trigull Amphibian. The aircraft pictured is C-FTRI, built and designed in Canada in 1973. The aircraft was refurbished in 2003. Hopes are still alive for the serial production of the aircraft. You have control.

Trigull C-FTRI shown here in the Viking Air hangar, Victoria, B.C. 2003.

[India Four Two]

Bri,

Was it the prototype that had that great registration C-GULL?
