You are correct regarding the aircraft being a twin engined. However, it is not one of the aircraft you mention.

You have it Kitbag . It is the instrument panel of the Short Sturgen T.T.2.


You have control.

Clearly too easy, I hand control to Lightning Mate for identifying the Macchi 67

That would be the cockpit of the Schneider Trophy winner the Supermarine S6B.

Not to interrupt the present challenge, but in response to:

I thought people might like to see the S6 very much in the 'interesting' colours applied...

G'day Mel.

A de Havilland of some description per chance? Can you tell me what all the padding at left is for?

Been looking at this mate. Is that green glow real, or some sort of photoshop trick?

No trickery of any kind, that's the image as it came out of the camera, all I have done is a bit of cropping. The image is a touch overexposed (+ 1 stop I think I recall) for better rendering of the cockpit interior.

I've no idea why such a garish colour was applied (not, I suppose, can I say for certain whether it's been re-painted since it ceased flying), but I'd be interested to find out. Certainly not the most restful of hues...

Yes a DH of some kind. I have no idea what the padding was for.

Didn't the DH 2 have an assymetric cockpit coaming?

You have it . The photograph came from a publication entitled "US Air Service in WWI" and the caption read "Radio set installed in a DH-4"

You have control Graeme.
