What Cockpit?

[BSD]

UV - It is indeed the Tipsy Trainer. This one is G-AFWT, no. 13.

The European connections are: Belgium (the designer) and Czechoslovakia (a Walter Mikron engine)

I'd failed to spot Sycamore's reference E.O.T as being Ernest Oscar Tips, the Belgian born designer and Sloinge, the museum in Sweden where one can be found, but a kindly PM from the Netherlands showed me the light.

I'm always impressed at how quickly these challenges fall.

I think sycamore was already on to this and meleargertoo was probably also in the know with his “alcoholic” comment re. Tipsy.

After Slough was mentioned as the place of manufacture all I had to was google “aircraft built in Slough”!!

OH please.

what you have to remember is that in searching for the "current challenge" the more obsessive of us () look at a A LOT of other images - so when one comes up chances are people have seen it or something similar before

[sycamore]

Or,if we can cobble the brain cells together ,remember having flown it about 45 yrs ago ..! rather like flying an open top Triumph TR3....on a fine summer`s day......

[Asturias56]

We also attended a lot of airshows - when they were fun................

[Self loading bear]

The really obsessive have probably put the photos in their file “future challenges”.
and then moan that you have posted their next challenge!!!
(it wasn’t me,.....,,this time;-)

Ditto to all of the above for me too. The pictures I've posted have all been taken by me, mostly on my i-phone and then kept - waiting for a suitable moment to contribute! The one I though would be the best challenge went in a heartbeat when someone spotted I'd left the registration in full view. Doh!

Hours of endless fun to be had on this and the "which aerodrome" thread!

Cheers to all.

Shall we honor HRH Prince Philip with a multiple challenge?

May he fly on the highest flight level in fair winds.

(As he has flown in 59 types; please feel free to extend the challenge with more photos)

something like that.

But everyone can easily increase his own score if you add some pictures too!

2 Second glider a Skylark 2 or 3

I am afraid Syca scores 4 out of 9.
Who will take the lead?

[Self loading bear]

With no other answers or added photos forthcoming I give Sycamore the lead with a score of 4
I want to thank UV for identification of the Skylark. That was also a question mark for me.

There is a short film of the visit of Prince Philip to the Bristol gliding club:
Bristol Gliding Club

1. Slingsby Eagle
2. Skylark 2 or 3?
3. 1965 Westland Whirlwind HCC.12
4. Boeing 757 1982 Seattle
5. Hawker Siddeley Trident 1C
6. Hawker Siddeley HS-780 Andover Algeria El Asnam 1980
7. Whirlwind HAR.1 or HAR.2 1956
8. Blackburn Beverly
9. Another Andover (definitely no Jetstream)

Since it's been two weeks, here's an easy one to get thread back up the list

[oncemorealoft]

Lockheed Tristar. OH please if correct.

[asw28-866]

I concur, I think OMA has it with the Tristar, now we wait for clock...

[Meikleour]

The thumb trim wheel is a dead giveaway!
