Quick review of my notes, and I've been lucky enough both to have been inside two Beauforts, and no Bothas (a lamentable aircraft) and it's definitely a Botha - so it's 682al's - I may be wrong, of course, so we should await Mel's confirmation...

MReyn24050 13th Aug 2006 09:20

Sorry for the delay.
682al has it :ok: It is the Blackburn Botha.:D
You have control 682al.

682al 14th Aug 2006 09:19

Apologies for the delay in responding...

A.W. Albemarle perhaps? But looking at the nose canopy structure makes me change my mind and leads me to the Bristol Beaufort.

After JDK's Beaufort suggestion for the last one, that would be too easy!

OK how about the Bristol Blenheim Mk IV. That Bomb Aimers sight is the standard sight fitted to British aircraft 1940 looks similar to the one fitted to the Botha so I am sure it is a British aircraft.

Correct Mel.

A long nosed Blenheim IV and continuing the Mk IX bomb sight theme!

MReyn24050 14th Aug 2006 14:50

Thanks 682al.
This one is several years later,I am sure it will not last long.

If it was not the yoke on the left side, I'll would say a Percival- Hunting Provost ?

Slight diversion here.....
Could anyone point me to a cockpit pic of the MS 760 Paris Jet III please? I have some of the earlier versions.
Scroll down page for the prototype only Mk III

So, how about the Jet Provost T 1 as it seem to be a tricycle LG according to the picture ?

Sorry milk. Not the Jet Provost T.1 and no this bird did not have a tricycle landing gear.

Could it perhaps be a Percival Prentice perchance? Any marks for alliteration :D

Sorry no marks at all I am afraid as it is not a Percival Prentice.

The windscreen is quite vertical. Because of that I'll throw in something totally random - Short Seamew.

India Four Two 15th Aug 2006 14:13

OK. If it's not the Athena, how about the winner of that contest, the Boulton & Paul P.108 Balliol? Although, the windshield seems too vertical.

jabberwok not the Seamew. India Four Two :ok: :D Has it. It is indeed a photograph of the cockpit of a Boulton Paul Balliol T.1 Reg No VL.917. The photograph was taken after its crash at Pendeford following engine problems on a test flight. This aircraft was the first of the Mamba-powered Balliols to fly.
