What Cockpit?

[dook]

The person who has set the challenge seems to have lost interest, which is probably why everyone else has.

[Russell Gulch]

No posts for almost a year, so just for fun (!), here's another cockpit. (Some clues: this craft has only 300 hours airborne quite a long time ago; three jet engines of which only one remains attached).

[dook]

Three jet engines ?

Wossa four levers ?

[Glevum]

Is it RTV 31?

[dook]

Wasn't that magnetic drive ?

[dook]

Hovercraft ?

[Russell Gulch]

None of the above are quite correct, but Glevum is closest. Again, this is just for fun.
Another clue: This is the last example extant.

Well done Russell. I was just thinking we hadn’t seen any cockpits for a while.

No clue about your challenge, though.

Self loading bear has it. This and two other high-speed train types are the last remaining examples from '70s tests. They are at the
Pueblo Railroad Museum







I hope everyone forgives the non-aviation element! SLB has control.

Thanks Russel,
after the others showed me the way it was only a quick google.
Quite cryptic about 2 out of 3 engines falling away. But completely correct!
The third being the original first engine only installed as generator .

I have something appropriate stored on my computer which i can only access tomorrow.
But i think the pace of this thread will allow this delay?

Fantastic to see this thread re-awakening.

This, “what Aerodrome?” And the Luton Airport thread are the best.

Now, if I was clever enough to find and post some cockpit pics, I would.

long live “what cockpit!”

BSD.

[dook]

Have a go at the Which Aerodrome challenge then.

[Self loading bear]

Here it is

[dook]

Perhaps a BFW M.21

[Self loading bear]

Same era but this aircraft has been produced in far greater numbers (17 instead of 2)

[SincoTC]

That looks like a Walter NZ 60 up front, so could it be a Pander EC ??

[Self loading bear]

Tinco,
Very well spotted.
Pander E or EC
1 is being reproduced in the Netherlands at the moment.
A Pander Walter engine has been given to the Aviodrome museum.
Tinco at the controls.

Thanks SLB,

A good challenge! The number produced was a help, but I discounted the prototype model E because Wiki says that had an Anzani Six cylinder radial

I know this one has appeared on What Cockpit, but well over a decade ago and I'm not sure if it was this image as the original images don't seem to be available now, so let's give it another try

[dook]

Good morning TC.

You shouldn't be up so late at your age !

Was this a seaplane/flying boat ?
