It's the color of the seat coverings that has me stumped on identification...and I'm used to more than one number on each instrument...quite a puzzle.

G'day Mel. A continuation of a recent SC challenge from you? The Fokker S-13? It seems to fit some of your clues.

That is the one Graeme



The Fokker S.13, dubbed Universal Trainer, was meant to be trainer for multiple engine training, navigation training, paradropping training and training in radiotelephony. The prototype with registration PH-NEI made its maiden flight in 1949. The aircraft proved to be easy handling and strong. Flight testing was successful and the Dutch armed forces intended to buy the aircraft. Shortly before deciding upon procurement, the Dutch armed forces were provided with Beechcraft Model 18s under the Mutual Defense Assistance Pact (MDAP), almost for free. As other parties did not show interest in the S.13, Fokker terminated the programme. The only existing S.13 was transferred to the NIV in 1953. Years afterwards, the airframe was donated to the aerospace faculty of the TH Delft, today known as Delft University of Technology.

Are we looking at the cockpit of the aircraft that was subject of your Silhouette Challenge Bri? The Luciole MC 30.

Yes, Mel, you are spot on I'm always trying to lure in new posters to this thread, but I guess you'll have to do. Your turn.
