Yes, NutherA2, it is a Myasishchev M-4 "Bison". Your turn.

Once upon a time I formated on a pair of Bison for a couple of hours; the route included a southerly leg as far as a turning point some 40nm off Hull before heading north and being dropped off close to Bell Rock as our fuel state reached joker for recovery to Leuchars. I was never close enough to make out any internal details of the flight deck, though, this really was a lucky guess.

Open House..........

A dying thread this.
Then is it time to re-discuss the option of uploading cockpit shots from the outside?

Just a thought.

Gives me the leans just looking at that AI - and what is the strange instrument to its right? Looks like a combined VSI and turn indicator - any experts know?

Anyway, it's a PZL Orlik .

OH

It looks like it was taken airborne.

The ASI is showing about 250 IAS and the AI shows 20 degrees right bank.

Then if the instrument to the right is a VSI/turn indicator (and that's a new one on me), it's showing what I guess is rate 2.

The bank angle and speed would not give this rate of turn.

PZL-130 Orlik is correct. The dials are in kph, height in metres. You're not wrong about the AI though, I've got one somewhere with the outside world in view and it's bonkers. At least the black is at the bottom unlike the predecessors.
