It has the look of the AW Argosy about it... but that's already on the list.

Avro Ashton indeed, Evansb. That didn't take long! Your sector.
(Thanks for the image posting info, John Hill.)
Steve.

The mystery aircraft is older than the Schweizer 1-26, and the Laister-Kauffman TG-4.

evansb's challenge...

Could it be one of Charles Fauvel's flying wings? Possibly the AV-36 or AV-22?

Not a flying wing, but it was considered quite modern in its day. Only 57 were produced due to World War II's influence.

One is 100% sure it is the Schweizer TG-2, aka SGS 2-8 (as one was able to find the very same picture on the interweb)

Therefore, one shall post the next what cockpit challenge, before staggering off to bed :



One shall check your many answers at the break of dawn (or so)

The incivil beast is correct. Based on the 1938 civilian designed SGS 2-8, the TG-2 U.S. Army Training Glider was of mostly metal construction, which resulted in its cancellation during WW II. In 1940, the craft set an unofficial altitude record, but it was not recorded by the FAI, as Paris was under NAZI occupation. You have control.

The Incivil Beast's challenge...

The challenge aircraft is the Pilatus PC-12, methinks.

LTV A-7B Corsair II?

Careful research i.e. the instrumentation now leads me to believe this might be the prototype A-7A?
