I have no idea what aircraft that is but the instrument on the left coaming looks like an old Cosim variometer.

If I am right what is it doing there ?

brickhistory 13th Nov 2005 18:59

Folland Gnat? Tiny cockpit, but it's got an ejection seat, so maybe....

Lockheed U2?

Is the variometer something to do with gliding?

BEagle 13th Nov 2005 20:36

Neither a U2 (which has a much larger cockpit - as well as a yoke-style control column) nor a Gnat (which has an even smaller cockpit).

Nor is it a glider.

Hmmm. Just back from the Sunday nights brains trust so....hazy!

Rocket Powered? UK. Has to be a Saunders Roe something or other.

BEagle 13th Nov 2005 23:12

Neither rocket powered nor a Saunders Roe aircraft......

Handley Page HP-115 XP980 in the 'Leading Edge' display at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton. I thank you...

It was the yellow arrow on the building's floor wot gave it away - I've been stumped as to almost all the others.

Now to hear if I was successful, and find a suitable piccy.

jabberwok 14th Nov 2005 05:44

Total guess but maybe HP115?

BEagle 14th Nov 2005 06:59

JDK - yes, well done, it is indeed the HP 115:

Over to you!

JDK 14th Nov 2005 07:24

Heh. Thanks BEgs

Spotting the type by the location is an interesting way of doing it.

This should be a real toughie, so a couple of clues are in order.

It's a fighter, of conventional layout, but often overlooked in the lists of W.W.II types...

It's a survivor, photos taken in the Museum's store.

Good luck!

HE 162 Salamander ???

Clint.

MReyn24050 14th Nov 2005 09:51

The canopy is very much like the He 100 an aircraft that I believe lost out to the ME109

JDK 14th Nov 2005 10:52

Not a He162.

Mike, you'll be doing well to get a colour cockpit shot of an (the) MB-5 in a museum store. Do you know something we don't? Incidentally, the MB-5 had an excellent cockpit layout - much better than this.

Not a Hawker Fury...

Nor a He100 (another extinct type, though there is a wooden replica in at Chino).

Keep going!

He112?
