No problem. Sorry if the clue almost threw you. Hopefully this one will not cause any problems.

Ah thanks Mel, great looking aeroplane! If I'm not mistaken that's Old Rhinebeck (the chequerboard Avro 504 is a giveaway if my memories of the place are correct!).

You are welcome. I am not certain that the location shown is the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. The Avro 504 is certainly the one from Old Rhinebeck but the Pitcairn is NC13158 once owned, and possibly still is, by Frank Rezich and not NC15307 which is the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome's Pitcairn.

This one is not a Handley Page aircraft.

Looks like a 'tail dragger' so how about one of Mr A.V.Roe's Tudors'?

She was not a 'tail dragger' nor one of Mr A.V.Roe's inventory.

Bloch M.B.161 Languedoc?

Yes - I considered the Languedoc, but it's cockpit looks too narrow compared to the picture, and also it's a taildragger - which MReyn24050 says it ain't.

The shape of the cockpit windows is very distinctive though - with a small window each side of fairly large front windows, and 2 more to the rear each side. Obviously 4 engined cos 4 throttles.

Sorry, Not the Languedoc.

DH106 is correct it has 4 engines and definitely has a tricycle undercarriage.

Mel

Morning again folks!

Quick WAG before I head off to work. Home Friday, so after this I'll leave you all in peace for a few days.

I'm not convinced that this cockpit of Mel's is a 4-engined type. I'm not sure that the 4 white stalky things are throttles. The 2 smaller ones to each side might be propeller controls, HP/LP cocks or whatever.

Along the top panel, it seems to have what appears to be fire handles, though if they are it has a devil of a lot of engines! I'll discount that too!

I'm going for the Sud-Ouest 30 Bretagne. A two-motor ship I know, but wasn't there one built as the first French jet transport, a highly modified number that had 4 RR Nenes?

It was a sort of proof of concept design that helped provide data with which Sud-Ouest went on to desing the SE 210 - Caravelle.

Told you it was a WAG!

Hi Ho, off to work......

BSD

Is it the beautiful (erm....maybe not :hmm: ) Bregeut 763 Deux Ponts?

Sorry BSD this was definitely a 4-engined ship and not the Sud-Ouest 30 Bretagne.

Have a good week at work.

Mel

DH106 :ok: It is the right answer. It is indeed the cockpit of the Bregeut 763 Deux Ponts.

Who said the French cannot build double deckers?
You have control.
Mel

I'll have to pass for the moment..... any other takers?
If no others by tonight I'll have a search - are there any left we haven't done yet? ;)

Did that thing fly only because the Earth repelled it?

That thing is as ugly as a ZZ headbut.

I can see why it needed deux ponts. Un pont would never be enough to carry all that ugly around. ;)

Me, Boeing and 99% of the rest of the world?;)

What Cockpit Mk III
 

I see that this new thread has been submitted under my name. I would like to state that no-one was more surprised than I was when logging on this morning. I have sent a PM to one of our moderators requesting that this version be linked to Mk II in a similar fashion as the Mk II version was linked to the original version started by Mr_Grubby.
Mel

When threads are as huge as this series tends to be they take quite a bit of bandwidth to operate. As before, we have trimmed it down to keep it manageable.

The MK II version can still be seen here: http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=225754

Another to keep the show on the road. This one was not as ugly as the last
