Hi Graeme
The control stick looks British.

Evening Mel. Not Russian mate.

This cockpit line drawing of the mystery aircraft may provide a clue...



If not, just ask.

I think perhaps the clue in Graeme's diagram is the colour reference "Hell" & "Dunkel". Would suggest the aircraft is perhaps German. I am sure when Graeme first posted his challenge image there was more detail, the cockpit sides I am sure had hinged panels. The Arado Ar 65 has side flaps to the cockpit but the panel of the Ar 65 is different. However I think the aircraft is German.

In fact it is I believe the Focke Wulf Fw56A.

That's the one Mel. Sorry about the image change, it had a GI problem.

Your control,
Cheers.

Another French machine mate? Anything to do with high aspect ratio wings?

Sorry chaps neither the Payen PA49 nor the Nord 1601. This aircraft was powered by a piston engine.

Sorry David not the Rene Hirsch H-100 nor the Arsenal O.101. This aircraft was late 1930s. The aircraft has been renovated since the challenge photograpg was taken.

This aircraft was built to carry out similar type of research as the Makhonine MAK 10 but built by a different engineer. You could say a variation on a theme.
