Well done, Kitbag! It is the Beech AT-11 Kansan with one of the two (or three?) instrument panel configurations it used in its WWII role as bombardier and navigator trainer.

You have control.

(Australian and British sleep cycles don't coordinate too well. You posted the answer 15 minutes after I went to bed last night. Sorry about the delay.)

Cheers,

Glenn

TVM Ozbeowulf, enjoyed hunting that one down.

This isn't on the list either, but probably won't take long:

It has the looks of a Piper about it and plenty of circuit breakers.
Early Navajo?

Looks very much like a BN2 Islander to me.

Kitbag 22nd Nov 2007 10:41

stevef has it:D

This Islander ZK-FXE in fact, living in New Zealand. I hadn't realised that over 1250 had been built, many of which are still in service and even some older relics are being recovered, refurbished and re certificated so good is it at what it does. Also many seem to end up in exotic locations.

Seems to be a bit of damage to the Islander's right wing, just outboard of the fuel tank sump!

Anyway, open floor - I can't get my 'next cockpit' image to work for some reason. :^-(

I didn't notice that till you pointed it out stevef. The site where that pic comes from features several views of FXE including one in flight on a whale watching tour. The photos were all taken on the same day. I guess it may be an optical illusion, there are some puddles on the ground perhaps it is nothing more than a reflection.

Seeing as Mel hasn't even pretended his next one is easy I'm outta here!:eek:

windriver 22nd Nov 2007 19:20

Not easy,rubbish! I recognised it straight away. It's a decompression chamber.

In the unlikely event I guessed wrong I'm currently looking at German aircraft of the twenties.

Kitbag sorry to hear that.
windriver. Sorry it is neither a decompression chamber nor a German aircraft. The years are close though.

"decompression chamber" :ok:

Probably A bit late in the manufacture date, but is it possibly a Latécoère 15?

MReyn24050 22nd Nov 2007 20:57

Mel's Challenge
 
Sorry Akubra. This aircraft was a few years earlier than the Latécoère 15 and it was also not from France.

I'm still convinced that it's an instrument of torture deep in a Carpathian castle.

windriver 22nd Nov 2007 21:34

Verne-Wells Mk1 ?...:sad:

May we assume it's a twin engined aircraft...
Eastern European perhaps?

evansb 22nd Nov 2007 21:41

Tarrant Tabor?

Certainly looks like a torture chamber I agree :)
verne-Wells Mk1 :) Must admit it looks like something from either "1000 Leagues under the sea" or from "War of the worlds". It was however a twin engined aircraft but not from Eastern Europe.
Not the Tarrant Tabor - this aircraft was not a bomber.

ozbeowulf 22nd Nov 2007 23:32

A wild guess, but is it a Bristol T.T.A. fighter circa 1916?

ozbeowulf. This aircraft was not a Bristol aircraft but she was British.

ozbeowulf 23rd Nov 2007 10:14

Hmm... the Blackburn Kangaroo, perhaps?
