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... :)

Not the Hot Canary. Faster.

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

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!!

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.

Cory Bird's Symmetry

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? :)

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

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.
