What Cockpit? MK VI

[evansb]

If twochai will permit me, here is a photo of a Fleet Canuck cockpit more akin to the one I flew over three decades ago. They sure do change!

[twochai]

Sorry, EvansB, got you beat by two decades (earlier, unfortunately). The airplane I soloed on was almost identical to the one in Keith's original photo!!

Regret I will be out of pocket for three days so: OPEN HOUSE to all comers.

[evansb]

Okay, here is the next mystery cockpit.

[LowNSlow]

I don't think we'll be able to guess that one EvansB

[S'land]

As no photo showing one assumes that it is a stealth aircraft.

[evansb]

Sorry 'bout that. I edited my posted photo last night just as my host, photobucket went down for site maintenance. After three failed attempts, I went to bed.

[evansb]

Here is a clue: Only two were built, both prototypes.

Can I hazard the Martin Baker MB5?

[evansb]

Sorry Steve, not a British aircraft.

Hi, evansb, first attempt Douglas XSB2D-1 Destroyer ?? Keith.

[evansb]

Hello Keith. Not the Douglas XSB2D-1 Destroyer, but you are very close.

[norwich]

Another X-Plane ? Grumman XTB3F - 1 (G-70) composite engined prototype prior to AF-2 guardian ????? Keith.

[evansb]

Keith, as it was a prototype, it did carry an 'X' designator, but it is not the Grumman XTB3F-1.

[norwich]

All very similar period, role, and looks ! how about Curtiss XBTC-1 ?? Keith.

[evansb]

Not a Curtiss. The mystery aircraft first flew in 1945.

[norwich]

Straws being clutched !!! Consolidated Vultee XP 81 ? Keith.

[evansb]

Sorry Keith, not the Consolidated Vultee XP-91. As stated, you were very close on your first submission.

[aviate1138]

Douglas BTD-1 perhaps?

[evansb]

Again, very close, but not the Douglas BTD-1. The mystery aircraft was known by two names.
