Not a YAK, but it is European, and was originally built to replace a military type.

Sorry, not Swiss. Just under 140 were built, production being interupted in the early 1990s, and ending in 2003.

UTVA 75?

You are correct DAN:ok: You have control:D

Sorry about my tardiness - I had forgotten that I had posted a reply! This one won't take long. It hasn't been done before - suprisingly!

Dan's Challenge
 

Why, it's the good old Victor, in my biased view the best looking of the V force.

From memory I can't tell if it's an instant sunshine delivery truck or a flying gas station, but I'm sure you can tell me.

Yes indeed, it is the Victor. I didn't think it would take long. It's a K2. You can tell because if you study the fuel panel, you will see the bomb bays have five pumps each. the aux tanks on the SR2 only had two pumps, and the bomber no bomb bay tanks. A 55 Sqn aircraft taken in 1987.

And I'm with you on your bias! You have control.

New Challenge
 

Thanks Dan, old timessake and all that.

Next one, also mil. Shouldn't take too long, even if the astounding gurus hang back for a few hours:

Fitter 2's challenge
 

No takers? They even put a plan of the aircraft on the panel to remind the pilot what he was flying :). Fitter2 please check PMs.

Love the flameout procedure on the left! Not a good mtbf then.

As they had a good old RR Avon, should have been OK.

So its an Avon powered military type with metric instruments, and Mel has told you its a conventional swept wing type - any guesses?

I,m new at this!
How about Saab Drakken?

Avon powered, metric instruments and Cyrllic (?) on the turn indicator.

Curiouser and curiouser!

Dixi188's geography is not too bad, but aircraft recognition iffy if thinking the Draken is swept wing. Any apparent cyrillic is probably fitting the right type and size of instrument in the panel hole of a museum example; the type was this side of the the Iron Curtain when it existed.

Must be a Lansen then... If I'm right its open house. All my old pics would need to be scanned in unfortunately.

Bottom rung's reply
 

Indeed, the J32 Lansen.

Does that make you second rung now?

Open house, it seems.

Identify this cockpit:

I really haven't a clue, but I do like that huge clock in the middle. Knowing what time it was must have been real important.



Sorry about that, I'll go away now. :uhoh:

It looked rather like a Curtiss C46 to me, but I see that has appeared before. Similar vintage?

Yes, it is a World War II vintage aircraft.

And American?

The aircraft is not American. It is smaller than the C-46.

evansb's challenge
 

As you say smaller than the C-46, but then it had a different role. Undertook a number of roles and carried a few different weapons I believe? Please check your PMs.

During WW.II, the people of the country that produced this aircraft were heard to say, "At least the trains are on time".

Is it an SM 82?

Sorry, not a Savio Marchetti SM.82. Right country though..

During WW.II, the people of the country that produced this aircraft were heard to say, "At least the trains are on time".

So con-pilot did have a point about the clock then .

Piagio 108?

Sorry, not a Piaggio. The mystery aircraft performed a variety of roles during WW.II.

evansb's challenge
 

Didn't Sweden operate an earlier version of this aircraft?

An earlier version, yes. In trade, Sweden had to provide raw materials, which were ultimately used for war.

Caproni Ca 313?

larssnowpharter, you are very close. It is a Caproni, but not the Ca.313.

Most extensively built version was the Ca.314. Variants included the Ca.314A or Ca.314-SC (Scorta), a convoy escort/maritime patrol aircraft, the Ca.314B or Ca314-RA (Ricognizione Aerosiluranti) torpedo-bomber and the ground-attack Ca.314C.

This fits the clues so far?

evansb's challenge
 

Fitter2 is correct.:ok: The Caproni Ca.314. You have control.

Apologies to Larssp for stealing it. And now for something completely different.

JENKINS A "Percy" by any other name

I think perhaps you mean a Percival Q6 G-AFFD which has been under restoration for a good few years.
