Just to clarify, with the canary I meant the yellow Warwick W-4 Hot Canary racer; obviously a case of adding two and two and getting 5... :)

spitfire 29th Jan 2006 19:26

Not the Hot Canary. Faster.

Saab Dastard 29th Jan 2006 19:33

Spitfire, I have no idea what the aircraft is, but the altimeter needs adjusting - it's reading 2800'!!

Can't have used QFE on the last landing! ;)

SD

spitfire 29th Jan 2006 19:50

Field elevation of this aircraft's home base is 2791 ft.

And from this same airfield, a manned aircraft has flown to over 360,000 ft!!

spitfire 29th Jan 2006 21:51

Mojave, yes.

When I mentioned earlier that it was a Bird, that was quite a large hint...

...and it's a design that might be described as having identical form on opposite sides of a central axis.

cringe 29th Jan 2006 21:51

Cory Bird's Symmetry

spitfire 29th Jan 2006 22:24

Alright! :ok:

For anyone that hasn't seen this incredible aeroplane see

cringe 29th Jan 2006 23:10

Having failed to pick up the name hint, I used the airport info to find the Symmetry.

Can someone from the night shift go next, please? :)

spitfire 30th Jan 2006 16:37

Ford Tri-Motor???

gas path 30th Jan 2006 18:58

Dunno if this has been done before but............http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../cockpit02.jpg

sorry its a tad on the tiny size!

foxmoth 30th Jan 2006 19:19

Going on the size it is Airfix 1:72 :p

pigboat 30th Jan 2006 19:56

I'd say the Ford has a manual transmission by the looks of the gearshift lever. ;)

cringe 30th Jan 2006 22:27

Hope this helps someone: Alphabetical list of the aircraft types used in the cockpit quiz so far

gas path 30th Jan 2006 22:56

Damn and blast it has been done before! I'm gonna sulk now:(
Grumman Avenger TBM3 it was

Thats a nice list must have taken quite some time:ok:
Apologies to mike for 'jumping the gun'

pigboat 31st Jan 2006 01:11

Wow, that's quite a list. Great job cringe. :ok:

MReyn24050 31st Jan 2006 08:13

I believe it to be the FVM/CVM Tummiliten (Tummelisa). If so it was previously put up as a challenge by cringe on the 8th Dec 2005.

spitfire 31st Jan 2006 20:39

Yes it is , sorry, didn't check the list

MReyn24050 1st Feb 2006 06:43

Spitfire
No problem after all the list is now some 230+ types long. I dont think this one has been up before, not that it will take long before the answer is forth coming.

Good Morning Mel !!

P-38G.

Clint.

MReyn24050 1st Feb 2006 07:20

Good Morning Clint
Well done. I said it would not take long. Definitely the Lockheed Lightning P-38G In fact Serial No 42-13444. I bet you knew that too Clint.
Over to you

Mr_Grubby 1st Feb 2006 07:54

Try this.

MReyn24050 1st Feb 2006 08:37

Looking at the cockpit window layout points me towards Tupolev TU-16?

Mr_Grubby 1st Feb 2006 08:43

Not a TU-16

MReyn24050 1st Feb 2006 10:26

I will keep with the Russians. Antonov An-26 perhaps?

Mr_Grubby 1st Feb 2006 10:30

Spot on !

Is it just you and me this morning ? Is nobdy else coming out to play???

Clint.

MReyn24050 1st Feb 2006 10:48

It would appear that way Clint. Just to keep the ball rolling another easy one, no doubt you will have no trouble with this one.

LowNSlow 1st Feb 2006 11:58

Could it be a Seversky P-35A perchance?

barit1 1st Feb 2006 12:45

No tachometer?

Must be a twoholer.

MReyn24050 1st Feb 2006 12:49

LowNSlow
Your perchance is correct it is the Seversky P-35A. You have control. This is the baby concerned.

PPRuNe Pop 1st Feb 2006 17:27

Please, before we go any further.

You must stick to a size of 800 x 600 pixels. You will notice that the pic before last was way over size and enlarges the page. Something we don't want.

800 x 600 so please stick to it. Less is ok too with around 600 x 440.

Thanks,

PPP

MReyn24050 1st Feb 2006 18:56

My sincere apology PPRuNe Pop. At the time of posting it seemed to be well within size. Your point is well understood. I have adjusted the picture to meet the requirements
Mel

PPRuNe Pop 1st Feb 2006 19:24

Isn't that cheating Mike? Good point but I think I will protect the guys and girls from you. Use a magnifying glass!

I am most of time absolutely baffled but it is great fun to see these sometimes very sparse cockpits. Not sure I would have been happy flying some of them. :eek:

Thanks MReyn, don't go too small though. And no I don't know the type!!

MReyn24050 2nd Feb 2006 08:38

Forgive me for jumping in LowNSlow but to keep things moving thought I would post another easy one.

LowNSlow 2nd Feb 2006 11:25

Mreyn, no problem, I don't have anything to post right now anyway :O

LowNSlow 2nd Feb 2006 11:35

Is it a Convair F-102 Delta Dagger?

MReyn24050 2nd Feb 2006 11:47

No. Not the Convair

LOMCEVAK 2nd Feb 2006 12:34

How about Mirage 2000, probably A or B model?

MReyn24050 2nd Feb 2006 13:10

LOMCEVAK
You have it Mirage 2000, not sure about the model! You have control.

cringe 2nd Feb 2006 13:20

I think the pic is of the E model (export version of the C model). Over to LOMCEVAK.
