What Cockpit?

I am almost out of photos:

That last mournful post took you over the URL posting limitation...

That rather uncomfortable looking fold-out chair does appear in a British troop-carrier.
Vickers Victoria?

Noyade has the controls with the Vickers Victoria.
A Rather elegant fuselage for its size and time.

Can anyone explain the purpose of the peculiar face to face arrangement, apparently with instruments and some sort of control wheels in the orignal pic #2820?

Training purposes?

Thanks SLB.

Something Japanese perhaps...`Betty`...?

[Noyade]

Hi Sycamore. Not Japanese, but another Axis power....

This is the aircraft Lufthansa "rejected."

I'll end this one for Easter - The Dornier Do 17 V2.
Open House.

What are the two levers in the center of the instrument panel ? They have the appearance of landing gear levers but two of them ? Throttles maybe ?

This should be easy for the mathematicians among us:

WAG BN Trislander. I recall one used for geophysical. survey across Canada. I think Saunders owned it.
I think the Junkers JU-52 had all 3 RPM gauges mounted in a horizontal row not the pyramid as seen here.

I'll warrant its Australia and not Canada where this tri-motor was built and flew.........

I haven't got a suitable offering to submit if I master the challenge, so I'll leave it to someone who has one.

Love this thread and keen to see it flourish.

BSD,

Let me guess - you were looking at the radio stack to identify the correct hemisphere!

Drover?

[India Four Two]

Noyade has it with the DHA-3 Drover.

Effectively a three-engined fixed-gear tail-dragger Dove with Tiger Moth engines!





Wondering what happened to the DHA-1 and -2? I leave that question as an exercise for the reader!

Noyade has control.

Dead right I 4-2: the Sunair HF gave it away. Though I was surprised to see the "Sunair Electronics Co USA" on the set. My memory must be fading: I would have sworn all the ones I used were made by AWA - Amalgamated Wireless Australia?

They all seemed to work pretty well though.

I've never seen a Drover actually fly, but have a vague recollection there might have been one in a museum at Southend. Always wondered what they were like to fly,

What cockpit? and Which Aerodrome - make PPRUNE worth looking at IMHO.

Cheers!
