What Cockpit? MK VI

[evansb]

Boeing YB-9 ?

[Noyade]

G'day Brian.

Right era, country, purpose and the designation is extremely close, but not a Boeing.
Here's an additional shot giving the cross-section shape. Cockpit was normally covered....

[NutherA2]

Martin YB10?

[Noyade]

The Martin B-10 will do mate. Your control.

[NutherA2]

Thanks Noyade, I'm not one of the experts on this thread, it was just a lucky guess enabled by your clues & Google.

Open House again.

OK, here's the follow-up from above. Now you can see how the AI looks in real life - but in which ac?

[Lightning Mate]

Did you take that photo?

[Background Noise]

I can neither confirm nor deny...... Why, will there be an unmarked car coming for me?

[Lightning Mate]

I just love that pulley wheel!

[Background Noise]

And the cable going round the blast screen into the front cockpit. Something to do with the canopy jettison I think and/or the seat/canopy interconnect.

[Lightning Mate]

Looks really Heath Robinson.

So we're looking at a mil trainer?

edit: and wtf BUSOLI.

[Background Noise]

You mean wtf-ski. Type it in here: Google Translate

[MReyn24050]

PZL TS-11F Iskra perhaps.

[Background Noise]

TS-11 Iskra it certainly is. Over to you. BTW busoli appears to translate as compass. I have another interesting AI if MReyn does not have one ready.

[MReyn24050]

Thanks Backgound Noise.
Please be my guest and go ahead and post. The one I had ready even though cropped can be so easily found by Google image it is not worth posting.

Ok, last one. Here the ac rolls round the AI (unlike the ones above) but spot the difference in pitch.

Actually this one is not airworthy, and I'm not certain of the type, but lets ee what anyone makes of it. You'll be pleased to see it also has a busoli!

[Agaricus bisporus]

Its a later model (perhaps licence built?) early Bolshie s/e jet.

The obvious choice is Mig 15?

Agh! That AI is even worse!

[Background Noise]

Since I can't be sure, I can't legislate but not a 15 I don't think. The Poles had their own versions of those early Migs - it may well be a WSK Lim-6M which is a Polish-built Mig 17. It doesn't seem to be quite the same as pictures I can find on the web except that the only one I can find with the white stripe in the same place is a Mig 17. Anyway it's a simulator so who knows.

OH

[evansb]

Here is the next mystery cockpit:

[aviate1138]

Ha! It's a Meteor. Phoenix not Gloster.
