It's a BA Swallow.

Open House, I've got no photos to post.

Confirmed - BA Swallow

Another bit of fun. Any hints will be double checked for accuracy.......

Colomban MC-30 Luciole?

Helo Mechta

you must have been at Sywell LAA rally too.

Over to you.

Hello Fitter2,

No, I wasn't at Sywell, but I have been fascinated by the Luciole from the moment the first news of it filtered across from France around 2006. To be able to power an aeroplane with a small four stroke industrial engine seemed like the answer to a homebuilder's dream.

As soon as I saw that V-twin (Briggs & Stratton Vanguard or Honda), both have been used), I was pretty sure it was the Luciole. There is also the Czech SD-1 with the same engines, so I did need to do a search first.

Here's the next one:

The NA X-15 ?

Hi Sycamore, Well done!! North American X-15

Over to you!

Open House....

Five years ago today I started this thread.
Never thought it would last this long !!

Clint.:ok:

Mr Grubby. Thank you for starting this ! Please allow me to kick start the sixth year with this little photo ? it does not appear in Mels supurb listing, and I assume will not linger too long ??

Keith.

One of Mr Vans? RV8?

I don't know what aircraft it is; but I love the warning decal above the artificial horizon...

Glenn

Sorry not a Vans type ? Yes I like that advice sticker too ?

Keith.

LH-10 Ellipse?

Edited to say, no, it can't be. How about a Rutan Long-Eze?

Fitter2. Not a Rutan design either ?? But is closely related to the Long-EZ ?? just added this bit to ease any confusion ??

Keith.

Well, after 1200 views and a couple of very well educated attempts, time for a small clueette ? This particular aircraft is based at my local airport .... Norwich (EGSH) (NWI) ... and actually landed in front of my eyes this afternoon ! propelled by its pusher propeller, with its winglets glistening in the late sun ?

Keith.

Looks like a cozy arrangement in there

Hello Norwich

Was Kitbag's subtle offering right or wrong? If wrong, another cluette maybe in order, but my assumption is that a pusher canard is pictured.

Aha ! Mmmm .... I have been looking at Kitbags criptic question ?? and am finding it difficult to find a link ?? maybe just my limited knowledge ??

Fitter2 ... yes pusher and carnard are in there ... two seater ... one in front ... one behind ?? not the best of safety record ... and as of 1 second ago I have looked at G-INFO and, to my amazement !, found this to be the only UK based example of this aircraft ??

Keith.

Hi Kitbag

probably not a Cozy then, although there is only one Cozy Classic on G-INFO.

Further investigation necessary.

Stabbing very wildly- Berkut 360?

Kitbag, Stabbing very wildly pays of sometimes !! Spot on ...
The floor is yours :D

Photo taken a few days ago ... Keith.

B@gger!

It was such a wild stab based on descriprtion I didn't bother to look again til this morning, apologies if someone with a real puzzler is waiting in the wings, the floor is all yours.

Here is one to keep this thread alive:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../WCP101004.jpg

Douglas DC2 by the look of the yokes and pedestal.

Yes, stevef, it is a KLM DC-2. Note the compass. You have control.

Can't be many cockpit pictures not covered now!
I don't think this one's come up before:
Easy one, though.

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...07/WCquiz1.jpg

CASA 1-11 or He 1-11 in old money ,with a British twist..

Neither of those, I'm afraid, Sycamore.

Siebel Si-204 ?
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...ch-1947-01.png

Bri has it. :ok:
Over to you.

Thanks Steve! Here is the next mystery cockpit:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../WCP101006.png

Clue: When carrying the mail, one of these ships was known as ZEPHIR.

All four were "Aeolus," "Zephir," "Pampero" and "Zyklon"?

Do 18 diesel flying boat. Nice Popular Mechanics link here:

Popular Mechanics - Google Books


I didn't realize the engine had a dual-crankshaft with opposed pistons in the same cylinder.

Open house if correct.

India Four Two is correct.:ok:

Best regards,

Bri

Inspired by another thread, hope this gets people thinking:
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a...it/WCP1012.jpg

I'm guessing the cockpit shown is in Nevada, and the rest of the airframe is on a Predator in the 'stan.
