What Cockpit?

[evansb]

Hey dook, the answer is YES!

[dook]

Cheers.

Time to flip a coin.....

[evansb]

As a hint, there is a pristine example collecting dust in a museum.

[dook]

An RWD...….?

Polish Aviation Museum possibly.

Bit further SE...Levente II,Strucc.....
Reference earlier to YMCA was the song by` Village People`.....next word was `Young man (Jungmann).....but it wasn`t..
You guys must have led a very sheltered life...!!!!!

[evansb]

It is indeed the Hungarian Levente II trainer. sycamore has control.

[sycamore]

Okay ,try this one...

[dixi188]

High performance retractable single, aero's, "G" meter. 400+ knots.
Feathered Prop. PT6? Not enough engine controls though.
1970/80s instruments and radios.
Looks like British cars outside.
Hangar, Cranfield?

[sycamore]

I think the ASI is kph.....not a PT-6,and it looks like a second `condition/proplever is to left of throttle on centre console.
Can`t comment about cars or Cranfield,but it may be,if it was at F`boro....

[dook]

I think this must be a European military trainer.

I have flown the tandem sear PC9, which only had single-lever control as per a jet, with no condition control.

I am wondering if it's Italian. Onwards...….

[dook]

Maybe the SIAI-Marchetti SF.260.

[dook]

No - it's the Aermacchi M290.

[sycamore]

No ,it`s not........

[Jamesel]

dook. No - it's the Aermacchi M290.

Interesting, looks like you can NOT trust the Wikipedia illustration captions after all.....

[Jhieminga]

Guess we'll have to move further North.

[dook]

I'm baffled.

The full title in the Wiki article is Aermacchi M-290 TP Redigo, originally a Valmet design named Valmet L-90 TP Redigo.

I accept that Wiki is not reliable but something is wrong here.

[Jhieminga]

I guess the Valmet L-90 TP is what Sycamore was looking for.

[sycamore]

As we`re nearly there,it is the Valmet L-90 TP,OH-VTP,one of the 2 prototypes.All` Redigos` were produced by Valmet,and none by Aermacchi,as when they bought the production rights,the world was looking at tandem turboprop/jet trainers ,ie Tincans,PC-9/21,Texan 2,and not side-by-side trainers.....
On balance `dook` has the keys......as mentioned in #1536

[dixi188]

Not PT6 then, but Allison 250B17. I played with those on the first turbine Islander.

[sycamore]

Dixie,there is a photo of an American reg.Redigo with a 5 blader,so that will probably be a PT6 or a Walter...
