Handley Page W8 ?

Mels Challenge
 

ozbeowulf and windriver. Sorry not the Blackburn Kangaroo nor the Handley Page W8. This aircraft was not as large as the Blackburn or the Handley Page. I should add as well that it was far from being successful.

At the risk etc...


de Havilland 10 Amiens?

Mel's Challenge
 

kitbag. This bird was about the same size as the de Havilland 10 Amiens. A further clue being that the aircraft featured in my challenge did not go into production.

How about the Beardmore Inverness ? (With sails!)

Mel's Challenge
 

Not the Beardmore Inverness, however they did have something in common, and it wasn't the sails, but were powered by the same make of engines.

Armstrong Whitworth Awana

Mel's Challenge
 

windriver
Not the Armstrong Whitworth Awana although it did had the same engines as the challenge aircraft but she was a very much larger aircraft, in fact the Awana was larger than the Blackburn Kangaroo and the Handley Page W8. The Awana also flew 4 years after the challenge aircraft.
To recap the challenge aircraft was a British aircraft built late 1910s but not built by:-
Armstrong Whitworth
Beardmore
Blackburn
Bristol
de Havilland
Handley Page
or Tarrant
She was a twin engined aircraft but did not go into production.

Boulton and Paul's P.8 Atlantic?

Mel's Challenge
 

evansb steals the thunder again.:ok: It is indeed the cockpit of the Boulton and Paul's P.8 Atlantic.

The Boulton and Paul P.8 was built from the outset as a contestant for the Daily Mail prize for the first nonstop transatlantic crossing.Only two prototypes were built.Unfortunately the first P.8 crashed on its first flight after an engine cut-out. The second P.8 was finally completed as an airliner prototype and test bed but no orders were received for it.
Bri, you have control.

Thanks Mel, that was an enjoyable challenge. Here is the next cockpit:

Enjoyed the last challenge.. well done to evansvb
This one looks like a helicopter? Brantly B.2B perhaps.

Not a helicopter.

Whoops! (Thinking aloud, not fishing yet) Looks like it's got 2 sets of engine instruments and only basic flight instruments.

What I would like to know though... are the 'chess pawns' on the plank part of the aircraft structure or the building in which the aircraft is housed?

Yes, it is a twin-engine aircraft. The 'chess pawns' are ventilators on an adjacent building.

The Sukhoi SU-12?

Sorry, this craft is not from Russia. It was built in the late 1950s.

Did this aircraft operate in the AOP/Spotter role?

The few examples that were built didn't get much beyond the experimental and assesment phase, but AOP/spotting was not a primary role intended for this craft.

Excellent challenge, evansb...

Except for the two engines...or, at least, two magneto switches... I'd wonder if this was the Bell XV-3 or the Transcendental Model 1-G, but I may be looking in the wrong category.

I understand this aircraft is not a helicopter, but was it an experiment in the VTOL/Tilt Wing field?

[Edited to remove erroneous "Model 200" reference and to add the Transcendental example]
