I can't see an attitude indicator so I assme it's off-picture to the right.

That would indicate a side-by-side two seater.

Can't help you with the other side of the cockpit mate.

Single-seater.

Yes mate, American and Navy but not built specifically for research/testing. It proved too heavy for carrier service and never went into production. They did try to sell it to the Japanese as a land based aircraft - but they went with the F-104 instead.

Took me awhile to figure out your designation. Did you mean the early Intruder?..The A2F-1?

Sorry, but no.

As a land-based, single-seat fighter aircraft...

Graeme. This aircraft was for military use in WW1. It was not from Vickers Bri.

Mel,

I also thought 1920s. It seems very advanced for WWI. I presume those are lights sticking out from the panel on bendy stalks.

So, a SE night bomber? Possibly French or Italian.

I love the man-sized primer pump.
