What Cockpit?

[Asturias56]

Did it see RAF Service?

[BEagle]

Not just with the RAF, other air forces too.

[Asturias56]

so - something built in numbers - well for the interwar period.

Single engined?

[meleagertoo]

It's so so Hawker Fury/Demon Blackburn Baffin but I can't place it.

[BEagle]

None of the above!

Wapiti?

[BEagle]

Noyade, correct! It was indeed the Westland Wapiti!

You have control.

[Noyade]

Cheers BEagle.

[Asturias56]

N american?

[Noyade]

Not this time.

[D26]

IMHO it has air operated main wheel brakes, retractable landing gear. Not British.
Just trying.

[BEagle]

Heston Phoenix...

[Noyade]

The Phoenix it is.
Back to you, BEagle.

[BEagle]

Thanks Noyade!

"MIN ROTOR REVOLUTIONS AT TAKE OFF" makes me suspect a Gyro?

[thnarg]

Not sure which model it is but you got me reading about its eponymous designer, about whom I knew little. Interesting life and a tragic death.

Killed in an air crash?
Possibly Juan de la Cierva?
If so, maybe the Cierva C-30?

[BEagle]

Noyade, correct! Cierva C-30A autogyro it is indeed! Also known as the Avro Rota Mk1 in RAF service.

You have control!

[Noyade]

Thanks BEagle - but thnarg should have this as he led me to Cierva.
Cheers!

Very kind but I don’t have any cockpit photos without me or a colleague spoiling the view. If Noyade doesn’t want control then please open the house.
