What Cockpit?

[Kitbag]

Much betterer, the Cosford example is the only known survivor.

It is the Dinah, YHC

Ah, my error - should be the Dinah III then? Thanks.

Another Jap Cockpit Cutaway in return then...

[Kitbag]

Nakajima B6 Tenzan ?

[Kitbag]

Nope, not Nakajima; it's a Mitsubishi Ki51

[Noyade]

it's a Mitsubishi Ki51

Nicely done Kitbag! Back to you sir...

[Kitbag]

TVM.
No Hinomaru on this one.

[evansb]

Given the lack of a HUD, is it the prototype North American YA-5C Vigilante?


Note the mechanical wind-up stop-watch, installed just right of centre, mid-panel. How quaint.

[Kitbag]

Dunno about prototype, but certainly given as NA Vigilante..

YHC

[evansb]

Thank you. Here is the next mystery cockpit:

[evansb]

Nary a single reply within the last H24. A clue will be forthcoming at approximately 1900Z (UTC).

[Kitbag]

I don't know, it's doing my swede no good. I'm guessing late WWII twin prop job, maybe some sort of fast light bomber from US but can't find anything close.

[evansb]

Not American, not a prop job. More Vigilante like than U-2 like.
Here is the back seat:

[Kitbag]

Thinking it must be the Tu22 Blinder, then.

[evansb]

Not the TU-22, but very close.

[Noyade]

Not the TU-22, but very close.

I was thinking Backfin, but wiki says that was a 3-seater > so, maybe Fiddler?

[evansb]

Yes, the Tupolev TU-128 interceptor. The largest interceptor ever to enter serial production.


Your turn.

[Noyade]

Thanks for the clues Brian.

[Kitbag]

Something like the Aermacchi 346?

[Cows getting bigger]

kitbag, good idea and it's made me think outside the box (the blue interior was making me think Russia). I thought I had seen those seats somewhere - one of the SAAB range, probably some form of late serial/upgraded Viggen.

[Kitbag]

Dagnabbit CGB, I think you're spot on, although I can't find an exact match the warning panels either side of the drivers knees and the clip on the glare shield do it for me. Hopefully Noyade is an early riser.
