Yes, indeed it is - well done for being so quick. The Fairchild Cornell PT19 it is.
My old man trained aircrew in Rhodesia in this (and other a/c) during the last few years of WW2 - I have an original pic WHICH I CANNOT FIND and would have been slightly more difficult. He told me that the Chippy I trained on was an inferior a/c (!)
The floor is yours - bring it on.

I'd say you've got it in one, David!
In fact, I'd also say that is the cockpit of N9150, the last of the On Mark Invader conversions.

Not me! Planegill identified it as a modified A-26 Invader.
I thought he might be right, so I googled the only Invader modifier I could think of and stumbled onto the N9150 site with the same cockpit photo.
From then on, it was just me being a smart alec.
Planegill did the hard work; it's his win.
You got it, David!
Cheers,
Glenn

Thanks Glenn. I wasn't sure at first, as it looked like it might have a sliding canopy. You guys have very efficient search skills.
Here is probably a very easy one.

Hi
Helping out here since no posts. Is it an Eastern hemisphere (c Gordon Brown) type thingy??
ps not got a clue
PS sorry for the vague reference --
Western hemisphere is sometimes used as an equivalent for the geopolitical construct, the Western World, which typically includes America and Europe. (sometimes - maybe not Poland etc when it suits)
And certainly not the 'stan countries and bits that Dubya doesn't like...

If Mel is right, I thought I saw a Grumman influence in some of the layout but couldn't get my head across the Atlantic/Pacific - hence my earlier question.
If so, well done - I now know more about a v. interesting a/c anyway

Planegill's challenge
mustpost. Please do not assume I am correct but there are not many four engined aircraft that seem to fit the photograph. However, I know that production version, the Shin Meiwa US-1, had a different panel. It is the centre cockpit window pillar and seats that make me think it might be the prototype.
