That is definitely a Falcon cockpit, my guess is the Coast Guard aircraft as Mel said or the Falcon 200. Or perhaps the Falcon 20-731.

Mel and con-pilot are correct.:ok: It is a Dassault Falcon 20, operated by the U.S. Coast Guard under the designation HU-25 Guardian. Mel has control.

Radial engine... 60HP'ish??
Something I`ve never heard of :) .. so how about a Mauboussin Monoplane? |
Mel's Challenge
Sorry not a Mauboussin Monoplane. This aircraft was not a monoplane.
Mel |
Very tentatively it looks more like a rotary than a radial to me so ....
Mr Sopwiths Salamander? |
Mels Challenge
kitbag
This aircraft was powered by a water cooled radial engine she first flew a couple of years earlier than the Sopwith Salamander. Mel |
Salmson engined?
The Russain Anasal perhaps? |
Mels Challenge
Salmson engined - yes. The Russain Anasal - no.

I shall stick with the Russian theme and suggest a Lebed product; possibly the XII

Mel's Challenge
Akubra Is correct it is indeed the instrument panel of the Salmson 2A2.:ok::D
The Salmson Motor Company founded in 1890 by Émile Salmson and based in Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris, was originally an automobile company. During the First World War, it built aircraft engines, generally 9- and later 18-cylinder water-cooled radial engines developed from the Swiss Canton-Unné design. The company's first entry into aircraft design came with the Salmson-Moineau S.M. 1, an unusual three-seat reconnaissance biplane with twin airscrews gear-driven from a single Salmson engine in the nose of the fuselage. These aircraft, of which 155 were built, were not especially successful. The Salmson 2 developed from a requirement to replace the Sopwith 1˝ Strutter and Dorand A.R. reconnaissance aircraft in the A2 (tactical reconnaissance) role. Salmson had built the 1˝ Strutter under license, and the Salmson 2, while an original design, owed more to the Sopwith than to the earlier Salmson-Moineau. The aircraft was of conventional construction, powered by the company's own 9Z water-cooled radial engine of 230 bhp. Japan undertook license production as the "Army Type Otsu 1", also known as the Kawasaki-Salmson. About 600 were built initially, half by Kawasaki, half by the Imperial Japanese Army's Tokorozawa supply depot. Further orders may have brought the total built in Japan to around a thousand. My challenge photograph is of the instrument panel of a Japanese Salmson 2A2. Windriver. This is a French Drawing showing the instrument layout. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...nelDrawing.jpg Canton offered an S2 biplane powered by two 230 hp Canton-Unné engines. The main armament was to be four Lewis machine guns, firing forwards and downwards; a fifth gun was provided to defend the rear. This aircraft was found totally unacceptable. The armour plate was relatively thin at 4 mm, but nevertheless the Canton aircraft struggled to get off the ground when fitted with it. According to test reports, it could not climb higher than about 30 m, probably barely out of ground effect. Akubra you have control :) |
Heres the next challenge, Sorry about the quality.
I doubt it will last very long. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...ubra/wcp44.jpg |
Is it from de Havilland?

De Havilland Leopard Moth perhaps

Thanks Akubra, a very interesting challenge, certainly a different panel.
I am sure this next one will be no problem. Mel http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...pitquiz291.jpg |
