Re the "only one built": guilty as charged. :D

Not the Postjager. The manufacturer produced about 30 different types.

Is it a Koolhoven of some description Cringe? Sorry, I haven't got me big boy's book of aeroplanes here, and haven't time to research the exact type...

Yup, a Koolhoven.

Control Yokes looks very similar to the one on the PZL P.37B Los. Could this be the PZL 44 Wicher?

Sorry Mel, it is Dutch - treadigraph just got the manufacturer right.

FK-48 it was. :ok: More here: http://www.alexdenouden.nl/artikelen/koolhoven06.htm

Mike, you have control.

Here it is: List of aircraft types posted on this thread so far

cringe
may you be praised for keeping that list up to date :ok: :ok:
[pedantic]
it's the Lioré et Olivier LeO 213
[/pedantic] :8

Thanks, Bre. :ok: Correction duly noted.

Mike
Any chance of a bigger photograph?

Mike, I think it works if you delete the old pic first.

(This isn't a bid, so everyone please continue)

Mike says "think wet".
Well my first thoughts were Convair Sea Dart but that aircraft's instrument panel was very different. Then I thought Saunders Roe SR.A/1 but control stick is not correct. How about the Beriev Be-10, pilot saqt under a fighter type canopy.

Thanks Mike. Perhaps it the Yak 38 Forger Russian Naval Aircraft.

OK Mike I will go the other side of the pond a later version of the Grumman
F11F-1 Tiger the last of Grumman 'cat' family of fighters.

Since MReyn24050 beat me to the punch with the F11F-1 (just as well I refreshed before posting! :ok:), here is another. Should be easy:

Yak-40? perhaps.

YAK 40 of Hemus Air Reg No LZ-DOS perhaps? However seems Con-pilot got there first.

Yes, Yak-40. Told you it would be easy! ;)

con-pilot doesn't seem to be forthcoming with a challenge so to keep things moving I post the following. Not that it will last long.

Sorry Mike not a Lightning. Hope the weather was good for the BBQ.

Same era as the Lightning Mike.

F 101 Voodoo ?

C.

Hi Clint great to see you. Sorry not a F101 Voodoo
Mel

swift ? perchance

Sorry not a Supermarine Swift.

Gnat.

C.

Supermarine Scimitar ?

C.

Saunders Roe SR-53.

Sorry Clint. BEagle has it :ok: . It is indeed the Saunders Roe SR.53. This is the actual aircraft XD 145. The cockpit photograph dates September 1958.

BEagle you have control.

'twas the shape of the hood frame and the word 'Rocket' on the panel which gave the game away!

Someone else please as I will be off the air for a while.

Mike,

No heavy showers here in sunny downtown Essex, lovely evening so far.

Meanwhile, back to business. I'll open the bidding on this one with the Blackburn Beverly.

BSD

Bristol Brabazon ?

C.

Thanks Mike.

It's past my bedtime and Matron will be round soon with my medication and hot chocolat. So I will post tommorrow.

Clint.

Mike,

I'm sure we've had the Brabazon - but your picture is marvellous. I've never seen it before and the idea of a Bristol Freighter as a chase aircraft is so wonderful I'm going to frame it. I flew in one in an air race once and we were beaten by a C-47 and a Heron.

BS

I so agree - fantastic concept, and a new one on me. For the Bristol Freighter to be a chase aircraft, I suppose it really shows up the Brabazon for how awful a design it was.

Surely it was just a Bristol aircraft PR shot?

I am having trouble with the 'Iron Brain'
It wont let me paste an image so please someone take my go.

Clint.

Clint, thanks. Could you try posting the pic or a link to it again? We might be able to help resolve the glitch.

In the meantime, whose bike is this?
