What Cockpit? MK VI

[Lightning Mate]

Airspeed Ferry?

[MReyn24050]

You are correct Trevor. Not the Courier, however it is the Airspeed AS.6 Envoy 1. Should have checked H A Taylor's book first.

Hi Mel,

however it is the Airspeed AS.6 Envoy

Airspeed Envoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's the one, well done! I though I was going to have a "Morten moment" until I double checked and saw my challenge did have two throttles

You have control

[MReyn24050]

Hi Trevor. Thanks here is the next:-

[Noyade]

Hi Mel. Just a crazy stab - especially since the last one was an Airspeed and with all that glass....maybe the Airspeed Fleet Shadower? Although I don't like the look of that chair for long patrols.

[MReyn24050]

Not the Airspeed Fleet Shadower, Graeme. In fact this aircraft was not British.

Beriev Be-6 ?

[MReyn24050]

Not the Beriev Be-6 I am afraid Bri.

[evansb]

NORD 1400 Noroit ?

[MReyn24050]

You have it this time Bri. the NORD 1400 Noroit


You have control

Thanks Mel. Your source for cockpit photos seems inexhaustible!
Here is the next mystery cockpit:

Your source for cockpit photos seems inexhaustible!

Getting low now Bri. Your latest looks to be a rotary aircraft.

[evansb]

Some clues: First flight in the 1950s. Produced until mid-1960s. Mostly military users. Under 200 produced. Set a record.

[MReyn24050]

SO 1221 Djinn I believe.

[evansb]

Yes, Mel. You are correct. First helicopter powered by compressed exhaust gas expelled from the rotor tips. Didn't need a tail rotor either. Set a climb record as well.
On top of that, the helicopter was pleasant to fly. "Djinn" means genie in Arabic.
Your control.

[MReyn24050]

Thanks here is the next one:-Bri.

[MReyn24050]

No takers. Time for a clue perhaps:-
Trainer, first flight early 1950s.

[India Four Two]

Mel,

Is it Polish?

[MReyn24050]

Not Polish Simon. It is European.

[SincoTC]

Good evening Mel,

A Fiat G.80 perhaps ??
