Not a Slingsby. Not from GB. Aircraft had a MTOW of 2,100 kg.

The German DFS 230?

Not German. First flight in 1944.

An educated guess is that the tubes are recognition flare holders. I've got no idea what airframe they're attached to though...

That is the one :ok:. At least it was at "What Cockpit III" page 6 Post#111.

Thanks, here is the next "What cockpit" (checked the list)

Rallye ST150?

Re the last challenge...Interesting ... and just curious...why would Sweden feel the need to develop a military transport glider at this time?

Sorry, not a Rallye

I don't know what type it is, but the fake wood grain dash and chrome bezel Stewart Warner engine gauges fairly scream 1970s American.

You might be right to a certain extent but the aircraft is not american and a bit older.

French? Emeraude.

Oui monsiuer, it is indeed the CP-30 Emeraude, whose design led to the CAP family. The one pictured has a C- registration, hence the american-looking dashboard :)

Merci mille fois... Voici aujourd'hui avion cocpit défi.

Just to make it easy for those like me who can only manage Franglais for 2 weeks a year Babelfish translates

as
:\

Not related to the Short Sturgeon is it?

Re the translation... I typed "Here is today's cockpit challenge." into Google translate and that was what it came up with...
who am I to argue.:)

Sorry... not the Sturgeon or relative even.

After posting I checked re the Sturgeon (I also read the instruction book after breaking things) so no surprise there.

There is a distinctly Gallic look though to the aircraft now I look at it again and I don't think it's just your French translation.

Non ... not French sorry
