Spot on, Clint!

PS: To answer your aside from a few days ago, forget was right.

Tim, over to you now.

Ok, here goes:

Not too hard, I don't think!

Single seat, spade grip, twin engines - DH Hornet?

Single seat - Yes
Spade grip - Yes
Twin engines - Yes
DH Hornet - No

;)

An even longer shot........Brigand.

Mike, I think you better start looking for a replacement pic, because your Whirlwind appears to be correct. Of course Tim will have the final say on this.

Well done Mike, if I'd been a bit more on the ball, you could've used the Brigand after all!

Standing by for your "evil one"...

Correct Mike, this is evil.

If it is a twin, which I am not convinced it is, but for the row of switches on the right hand side, a shot in the dark, a Czech Aero 145 which is in the Budapest museum.


Clint.

Blimey!

Err, not an outright guess, but:
Wooden construction
Russian (possibly?)
Pre-WW2 designed
That black box reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what...

Can't find any cockpit photos to compare it with, but I'm going for the Polikarpov I-153 photo at Wanaka?

Mike, I was compiling my guess as you posted your clues, but decided to leave it even though it's obviously NOT Russian!

It's Kermit Weeks' Lockheed Vega At Polk City

- but I'll throw it to the pack to continue.

BS.

Quickie. Gap filler -

Looks like single engine.
The panel on the right looks like a door.
Could it be a Bell P-39 Aircobra ?

Clint.

Oh alright. A Very quickie, a Very small gap filler

forget.
Sorry.
Over to someone else !


Clint.

Another quickie.

Vought F4U Corsair?

The only aircraft I know of with a flap lever like that is the Corsair - F4U-1 or FG1-D?

Corsair it is, told you it was a quickie :D

Ok, try this one...
