What Cockpit?

[evansb]

Yes, it is a German-built aircraft. If you want to take the easy way, fine.

[TheiC]

Many thanks, but I won't. I stumbled on it from the image 'properties' unintentionally. With luck someone will get to it the hard way.

[India Four Two]

Persevering with the 'hard' way, is it a Roland?

[evansb]

Not a Roland. Here is the actual aircraft from which the cockpit photo was taken:


OPEN HOUSE.

Here's one...

@ Evansb,


The photo in post #152 is indeed from a Martin B-10.

Something along the lines of the DH50 cabin biplane?

[Noyade]

You're on track there Kitbag! Is is a De Havilland - but not the DH-50...

[Kitbag]

Didn't look deep enough did I?
DH83 Fox Moth (only 6 survivors from 154)

If correct it's going to be OH I'm afraid.

[Noyade]

That's him Kitbag!

OPEN HOUSE.

[Terry Dactil]

Is that a big round hole in the instrument panel so the Captain can stick his head into the passenger compartment and make his PA?
(Yeah. I know that looks like the end of a Gosport tube just to the right, but I like my way better).

[Kitbag]

That thought is exactly what made me think of the 'cabin' type aircraft

[Kitbag]

Right then, here's one from 'olden times':

[Kitbag]

Almost, but not quite...















































Oh all right then, yes it's the Fairey Rotodyne

YHC

[India Four Two]

Another chance missed by UK?

No. The Rotodyne was diabolically noisy. It would never have been allowed to operate from city centres.

[Kitbag]

Moving on from the merits of (allegedly noisy) point to point airport transfers:

Here's a quickie;

[Kitbag]

Certainly WWII, not particularly liked by its pilots; underpowered and gained an unhappy nickname later on.

[sycamore]

Brewster Buffalo..?

[Kitbag]

Not American, I'm afraid, although it's possible the subject aircraft came up against some cold Buffalo

[evansb]

Yakovlev I-30?
