Reminds me of the F/E station in a Concorde...but surely that must have been done before?

Is it the F/E's position on a 747-100/200/300?

Please check your PMs.

It does have a Concorde feel to it, but after some research, I nominate the C-5A Galaxy. Open house if correct.

PS I though Bri's Caproni was a pressure capsule for a Dalek

There's something unBritish about the F/E's headgear; I'm losing faith in the Concorde guess........

Apologies for the delay, the server was U/S this afternoon and I have been out all the evening.

India Four Two has it , it is indeed the Lockheed C-5A Galaxy F/E station

Open house then

Coincidence!

I was looking for something to post the other day and tried to scan a cockpit photo from Aero Engineering Pt 7 (a Newnes publication from the 1930s). Unfortunately it was too dark to reproduce here. The aircraft:
Saro Cloud (or possibly Saro London)!

Thank you Planegill for a great challenge, it was the layout of the cockpit windows that led me to the Saro Cloud. I am sure this next one will go as quickly. Sorry the quality is so poor.

I go away for a few days, come back, find I've missed all the easy ones (yeah right ) and end looking at something built using left overs from an old tin roof.

Tin roof = Junkers something? Maybe a W33 or 34

I hope it's bafflement rather than boredom (or possibly the server problems are sending regulars to more productive activities).

Anyway, I am pretty sure it's not British, possibly US or Italian? OK, I will guess Italian?
