Sorry, not from Pilatus.

I'll try the SIPA S 111/S.121 A

Second thoughts maybe the Arado 96?

Not the SIPA S.11/111 nor S.121 A. Not an Arado. The mystery aircraft was modified for training, and, I believe, only two nations operated the version. The instructor had only a partial panel, and sat in the aft cockpit.

Final answer, the all metal SIPA S.12. As I have hogged the thread am I allowed an alternative with the Czech Avia/Letov C.2A

Anyway thanks for the craic, I have to get back to work! :rolleyes:

Sorry, not the SIPA S.12, nor the Avia/Letov C.2. The aircraft was designed in one country, and built in another. The modified training version was operated by only two air forces.

Here is another view of the instructor's partial panel:

The mystery aircraft is the only one extant. It is in a museum in its country of manufacture. The aircraft is unarmed, and the gun ports have been faired over. Due to certain substitutions and modifications, the aircraft was quite a donkey to handle. The pupil pilot had to be a very good stick-and-rudder man just to cut the mustard.

Avia CS-199?

Open House, if so, but I'm not so much of a donkey as to have missed that clue, I fancy.

The Avia CS-199 is correct:ok:. As the parrot says, it is open house.

A slight change here! I'll post an 'on the aircraft' picture tomorrow if no one's identified this photo.

Avro Manchester perhaps?

Not from the Avro stable, I'm afraid.

Thanks stevef, it was just a stab in the dark. I just imagined that the pilot was seated on a platform on the port sideof thecockpit with a passage way to starboard for the access to the nose. The Manchester seemed to fit the scenario.

Is it from the Liore et Olivier LeO 45?

Planegill has it! Good work.
Here's the other picture (I can see the Manchester similarity) :

New Challenge
 

Unfortunately I can't find the list of cockpits, so I hope this one hasn't been done before.

Planegill. See the Sticky above entitled "What Cockpit and What Aerodrome latest Lists".

Douglas Havoc?

Sorry Kitbag, this is not an American aircraft.
Thanks Mel. Unfortunately the sticky you mention does not seem to show on my computer. (Might be just my computer illiteracy.)

Saro Cloud maybe?

Not a British aircraft either. (Although it is messy enough to be one!)
