I'd love to post a cockpit here - but don't appaear to be able to use attachments.
Is there a qualification level or am I just being a D'oh brain ?;)

DH106.

Have a look at the sticky at the top of the Thread Page. 'Posting Images'
It really is quite easy, but having said that, I did have problems this am but all now sorted.

C.

Clint, since it was really your turn, please post your pic - I'll use mine some other time.

Thanks cringe.

Is there a 'winner posts' etiquette here, or all comers welcome?

DH106.

Yes, the winner posts, or opens it up to the forum if they have no pics available then it's a free for all !!

The reason we have two pics running at the moment is because of the generous offer from cringe.

C.

Thanks Mr. Grubby

The style of your latest looks like a 'calender shot' straight out of my 2006 'cockpits' calender - but alas, it's none of the 12.

P-51D Mustang....................

forget.

no sorry.

Corsair (FG-1 or F-4U) ?

sorry Treaders.

........P-47?

DH106.

Well done sir.
Republic P-47D Thunderbolt.

You have control.

C.

Blimey - beginners luck I guess.

Okay, here's a hard one. I expect to be lynched for this one:

Breda-Zappata BZ-308

Clint
Many thanks for your kind regards.

cringe
Well done

Mel

Well done Cringe - guess Iunderestimated people's knowledge for the obscure.

Over to you..... ;)

Mel,

Thank you and Happy Birthday from me too!

DH106,

Thanks. There's an interesting slide-show on the BZ-308 here:

Speaking of obscure - I'll remove the pic below if there are too many complaints. ;)

Too obscure I guess... Hints: American, 1950s.

Many thanks for your kind wishes.
Is this the Farnam FC-1 Fly-Cycle 1954 perhaps?

"Lawrence Farnham, Fort Collins CO.
FC-1 Fly-Cycle 1954 = 1pOlwM; 75hp Continental A-75; span: 29'7" length: 19'0" v: 85/x/30 range: 150. A genuine flying motorbike; the pilot had no cockpit, but rode the plane sitting astride the fuselage with his feet resting on the wings. Control was by means of handlebars and a twist-grip trottle in the right grip. As a "working" plane, containers for crop-spraying could be carried in its wings. [N201A]".



Mel

Well done Mel, that's the one. :ok: The photos were taken from http://vulatalk.zdwebhosting.com/pic...index0005.html.

Over to you.

cringe
Thanks for that. I found the details of it but could not find any photographs. Must have been a bit scary to fly.
No doubt you will not have any difficulties with this one.

Mel

Is that a staggered cockpit ?;)

Yes DH106 the two pilot's seats are staggered.

Mel

So........ is it a Staggerwing then?

Sorry DH106 not a Staggerwing, this one is not a Biplane.

Mel

can be an old french Caudron Simoun by any chance ?
( I'm not ready to take over)

mikl
You have it. :ok: It is in fact the Cauldron C.635 Simoun. F-AZAM.
Perhaps if you are unable to put up the next challenge DH106 could assist.

http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contri...as/4550L-2.jpg

Let's see if this works

What a beast!

Latecoere 521? Can't run to accents I' afraid.

More like the Latécoère L631, with six engines?

The window configuration looks more like the mighty Latecoere 631, not the older and 'squarer' looking 521.

682al - ya beat me to it ! ;)

682al

It is your challenge.

Mel

682al
I hope you don't mind me jumping in to keep the thread going ?

Doh !!!
Mel you beat me to it. I have been watching the forum all day waiting for a picture.

Clint.

Not at all Clint.

Having solved (hopefully?) my earlier p.c. problems, I'm now one of many Wanadoo customers who can no longer rely on a solid connection. Accessing the net is a matter of luck! :*

Spot on 682al and DH 106.

It must have been wonderful asking the helmsman fellow to come onto East-by-East-South-East.............or more appropriately, Est-acote-d' Est- Sud-Est...........and a small glass of Pinot-Noir, steward.

Clint
Early version of Grumman F14 Tomcat perhaps?
Mel

No, not an F-14.
