Buran Simulator.

It's a flying simulator, that part is correct.

No, not a Gulfstream either.

Just a shot in the dark..................In-Flight Simulator VFW 614 ATTAS. The Advanced Technologies Testing Aircraft System ATTAS, a unique flying simulator and demonstrator aircraft which was used primarily for DLR's research in the fields of flight control, flight guidance, flying qualities, and man-machine interfacing. The forerunner, the HFB 320 In-Flight Simulator (1972 - 1984), laid the basis for the ATTAS development at DLR which took place from 1981 to 1986 together with MBB in Bremen as the main contractor. The project was supported by the German Ministry of Research and Technology.

You got it, forget. Well done.
It was the experimental version of the VFW-Fokker VFW-614, which failed as an airliner. The aircraft from the cocpit pic: http://www.vfw614.de/gallery/attasfl2a.jpg Over to you. |
Here you are - with a huge clue as to origin.............and the clue is..............? Incidentally, how did the VFW-614 handle blade containment?

Its a Sunderland flying boat:
Sandringhams count as a Sunderland! I think that this is the Kermit Weeks one :ok: |
Tell me those aren't cup-holders on the top rear of the throttle quadrant... ;)
There's a fascinating book by Sir Gordon Taylor called "Bird of the Islands" in which he describes flying an ex-BOAC Sandringham around the South Pacific. Nice! SD |
:ok: Sunderland/Sandringham it is. 2001 at the Southampton Hall of Aviation. The huge clue as to origin........the 'Airscrews' placard at the rear of the throtle quadrant. Photos from www.kiwiaircraftimages.com/history.html Nice site.

I have done a few already, anybody else want to have a go?

For an 'istoric forum there's been a lot of wot I'd regard as modern aryplanes shown. I'm told that airliner's mothers can tell their flightecks aphart, but I cant.
Here's an easy(ish) one while I find a fieldish jobbie I have in mind to try. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...2/Mystery2.jpg |
Miles Magister ???

The cockpit shares a very similar layout to Tiger Moths, all of which seem to have differant layouts. However with the leather and green exterior, I am going to vote for the Avro Tutor.

Tiger mate is correk.
You may note the end of the Old Warden address on the top centre little brass panel (if you use your imagination) and I like a dial that says 'Oil, Bless' :} ) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7.../TutorCpit.jpg I raise my hand and solemnly promise not to do any more single-engined Avro trainers in this quiz. :p OK, It's not my go, but I thought I'd divert the thread from the way of too many dials onto the path of single brass plunger and true stick n rudder skills. Photos by me, taken in 2002, extra points for the museum the (rare) a/c is in. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...leCockpit1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...leCockpit2.jpg |
Judging by the offset windshield and the obvious nautical aspect, I'd have to say...
...Sea Vixen :} |
Supermarine Southampton ??
|
Sea Vixen...
Well, no, but you aren't surprised, are you? Southampton? No. Even the Southampton's got more instruments. Told you it was tough. None of you massed dials and CRTs here... |
JDK,
Tough one this. Is it Saunders Roe or Italian ? Clint. |
Is it a Blackburn B2?
|
Still stumped here ... after scouring Caproni's, Curtiss's, Saro's, Supermarine's, Felixstowe's, etc, etc. I think I need more clues :{
