Yes. It is a photograph of the cockpit of British Helicopter but which one?

The prototype was completed in the spring of 1956, carrying the military serial number XK889. Ground testing commenced but the Oryx engine was insufficiently powerful and the P.74 failed to fly. It was planned to fit a more powerful Rolls-Royce RB.108 turbine, but the rationalisation of the heli-copter industry later that year resulted in the P.74 project being cancelled.
You have control Kieron

This type's been done before, but here is a special example with a number of clues!

Lockheed 10E NR16020.

barit1 6th Aug 2006 02:06

No surprise that pb got it. :ok:

It's serial 1015, originally built and long operated as a 10-A, converted to 10-E by Linda Finch for her 1997 round-the-world flight (she cheated by using GPS...)

It carried N72GT both before and after the rtw flight, but during the flight displayed NR16020 markings per Earhart's ship.

I figured it was an L10, but with GPS? Then it hit me, 72GT aka NR16020. Used to have a pic of the lady and her aircraft on my office wall until Mrs. p's latest round of interior decorating. :p

I'll pass to someone else. Mel, barit, cringe???

MReyn24050 6th Aug 2006 18:29

OK pigboat. I will set another easy one :)

This aircraft was British designed and built late 1940s.

Nice try, but don't think the windows are a match.

DH106

You are correct it is not the Cunliffe Owen Concordia, but it was a twin.

Windows look kinda Viking/Varsity/Valetta ish ?

MReyn24050 8th Aug 2006 06:47

DH106

This one was not from Vickers, this aircraft was not as large as a Viking but unfortunately it was not a successful aircraft.
