What Cockpit?

[Self loading bear]

2 days open house.

[meleagertoo]

Skyship which?
600?

[dook]

I didn't know you could fly Bear.

[Self loading bear]

1) it is not a skyship
2) that’s not me


3) This is not me either

That's the Airlander Airship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid...4/Airlander_10
Never saw it flying from Cardington, unfortunately.

[Self loading bear]

It is indeed the Airlander 10.
Unfortunately it had an open house cockpit for some time.
What a long way has the airship development come since ....
Yes, since when?
But also still troubled with very large and real problems.

That chap does part-time on the Blackpool Tower Ballroom organ......

And then to think that the Airlander was first marketed as unmanned.
The pilot console was added upon request of possible future buyers.

Let's try the more modern stuff this time.

[Self loading bear]

It has levers for
Flaps
Mixture
Propeller pitch
single or tandem seat.
Smoking not allowed so this aircraft is not private property????

[Jamesel]

Also, likely to have
Fuel Injection - “Alternate Air” handle on right lower panel
Retractable Landing Gear - Little silver knob ahead of Power Controls & “EMER LG HANDLE” placard, by base of stick

[Self loading bear]

Searching single propeller tandem seat fuel injection gives the
2-person VLA
but also very complete aircraft
Blackshape Gabriel

Self loading bear has it with the Blackshape Gabriél.

This is the beautiful but deadly Latecoere 631 flying boat from France. Interesting video here:

Thanks for the video OMA.
indeed the Latecoere 631.
The thread is yours.

[oncemorealoft]

I’m going to have to declare OH. I’d saved a couple of interesting cockpit photos for such eventualities - but now can’t remember what they are!

[Self loading bear]

That is no problem.
Happens to me as well.
You just check the answers which are given!

Don't you chaps simply use copies ?
