Airspeed Hotspur?

Airspeed AS6 Envoy?

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

Not a product of Airspeed, sorry.

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

Real stab in the dark, DH 86 (Single Pilot) of which 4 were built.

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

Sorry MReyn24050, it's not from de Havilland.

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

682al

Thanks not British. Am I right in thinking it might be of US design? Perhaps a Boeing B80?

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

Not an American type.

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

Wellesley?

(Although I think it's a bit early a type for these kind of pilot's notes.)

British designed, or pre-war Commonwealth, pilot's notes made 1940 onwards, bomber or transport, 'cos of the wheel, military 6 panel, probably not RNFAA.

Am I warm?

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

Not British nor American. How about the Fokker 7? Am I mistaken thinking that it is not British?

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

Warm(ish)

MReyn24050, I didn't say it wasn't British...

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

682al

Thank you. No I agree, I incorrectly mis-interpreted your statement that it wasn't from De Havilland. Forgive me but when you say "warmish" is that in respect to JDK's comments?

Warmish?

I'd better try a bit harder then...

Mreyn, I believe only the Brits had whacking great P-2 compasses and that big 6 panel (though Australian and Canadian aircraft can be included in the pre-45 model).

Looks like it's a Brit...

Does anyone know, incidentally, if anyone else had such a compass set up apart from the UK?

Thanks, one of the beauties of this thread is that one is on a continual learning curve.
However, I am now really clutching at straws, but in for a penny and in for a pound. Possibly the Parnall Heck IIc?

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

Not the Parnall Heck.

JDK has the right idea, British, military, the Pilot's Notes would be dated 1939/40.

I can see a row of selector switchboxes on the right hand wall, suggesting a warload of some sort. The compass looks like a P4 type to me, which was usually installed in larger airframes.

Lovely airy glass house, isn't it?

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

On the basis of the last batch of hints, I'll have a stab at Fairey Barracuda.

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

Not the Barracuda. I think that one's already come up in the quiz.

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

Control Column looks wrong for a Barracuda as the photogrphs I have seen show a spade grip. Possibly a Westland Wallace? It did carry bombs. Those straws are running out.

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

But then thinking about it, roomy cockpit, lovely airy glasshouse, possibly an early Avro Anson?

Re: What Cockpit ?
 

Not the Wallace, or the Anson.

I was surprised when I came across this photo to see only a single pilot's seat, you'd expect a second pilot's position, too.

Bristol Beaufort ??
