Avro 706 Ashton?

windriver 8th Jan 2008 09:42

It has the look of the AW Argosy about it... but that's already on the list.

Avro Ashton indeed, Evansb. That didn't take long! Your sector.
(Thanks for the image posting info, John Hill.)

Laister-Kaufman LK-10?

mustpost 8th Jan 2008 21:45

Laister Kauffman TG-4A?

evansb 8th Jan 2008 21:47

Not a Laister-Kaufmann TG-4, or LK-10.

mustpost 8th Jan 2008 21:54

Schweizer 1-26?

evansb 8th Jan 2008 22:17

The mystery aircraft is older than the Schweizer 1-26, and the Laister-Kauffman TG-4.

evansb's challenge...
 
Could it be one of Charles Fauvel's flying wings? Possibly the AV-36 or AV-22?

evansb 8th Jan 2008 23:28

Not a flying wing, but it was considered quite modern in its day. Only 57 were produced due to World War II's influence.

the incivil beast 8th Jan 2008 23:41

One is 100% sure it is the Schweizer TG-2, aka SGS 2-8 (as one was able to find the very same picture on the interweb)

Therefore, one shall post the next what cockpit challenge, before staggering off to bed :

One shall check your many answers at the break of dawn (or so)

evansb 9th Jan 2008 00:07

The incivil beast is correct.:ok: Based on the 1938 civilian designed SGS 2-8, the TG-2 U.S. Army Training Glider was of mostly metal construction, which resulted in its cancellation during WW II. In 1940, the craft set an unofficial altitude record, but it was not recorded by the FAI, as Paris was under NAZI occupation. You have control.

The Incivil Beast's challenge...
 
The challenge aircraft is the Pilatus PC-12, methinks.

paulc 9th Jan 2008 05:42

is it a Quest Aircraft Kodiak 100 ?

the incivil beast 9th Jan 2008 08:06

ozbeowulf has it, it is indeed the Pilatus PC-12

you have control

ozbeowulf 9th Jan 2008 08:40

Thanks, incivil beast...

Here's the next "what cockpit" challenge....

Ozbeowulf
 
Plse check pms

mustpost 9th Jan 2008 10:27

LTV A-7B Corsair II?

Careful research i.e. the instrumentation now leads me to believe this might be the prototype A-7A?

ozbeowulf 9th Jan 2008 11:01

Sorry, mustpost, not the A-7, although this photo was taken at a very early stage in the aircraft's development process.


Edit: To clarify the statement above, this challenge cockpit has no connection with the A-7 whatever. It is is from the early development stages of a totally different aircraft.

mustpost 9th Jan 2008 11:51

Sorry - can't see past Vought layout - the FZU-1 Cutlass then?? :confused:

Edit - Ahh - just read your edit

mustpost 9th Jan 2008 18:21

Latest challenge
 
Careful research also shows I have joined this forum three years too late - good effort to all - Respect guys.......:D

ozbeowulf 9th Jan 2008 22:19

It's been more than twelve hours since I posted this challenge, so perhaps it's time for a clue...

The cockpit shown is a mockup for a high-performance aircraft project which died when the military contracts were cancelled due to altered national requirements.

mustpost 9th Jan 2008 22:50

Thanks, but before I retire I hope it wasn't a TSR-2 thing??

or finally (for tonight) XF8U-3 Crusader III??? :}

evansb 9th Jan 2008 23:07

North American XF-108 Rapier

ozbeowulf 9th Jan 2008 23:56

Well done, evansb!!:ok: The XF-108 it is. You have control!

Historical information on North American's last interceptor project can be found at....

Pietenpol Air Camper?

mustpost 10th Jan 2008 10:28

Sherwood Ranger?

evansb 10th Jan 2008 13:50

Sorry, not an Air Camper or the Sherwood Ranger.

mustpost 10th Jan 2008 13:56

A Fisher? (Moth?)

evansb 10th Jan 2008 14:46

Not a Fisher (Moth) design. The mystery aircraft's design originated on the continent of Europe.

Kitbag 10th Jan 2008 15:12


The mystery aircraft's design originated on the continent of Europe
Definitely not the funny little group of islands to the left of continental Europe?

evansb 10th Jan 2008 15:37

As an amateur-built, several have been completed on the British Isles, but the design definitely originated on the continent of Europe. In Canada, the plans and materials for the aircraft can be purchased from an Edmonton, Alberta based supplier.

Fitter2 10th Jan 2008 16:41

Falconair HM360? (Kit build variant of the Mignet Flying Flea).

MReyn24050 10th Jan 2008 16:50

Fitter2 has it.
 

Falconair HM360? (Kit build variant of the Mignet Flying Flea).
I would say you were on the right lines but not a HM360 but the HM293. If correct it is Fitter2's call.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...raft/HM293.jpg

evansb 10th Jan 2008 17:40

Yes, it is the Mignet HM 293 Flying Flea, one of several versions based on the original Pou du Ciel, designed in France by Henri Mignet in the early 1930s.

Fitter2 10th Jan 2008 18:22

Very generous of you, Mel.

I apologise for the quality of the next challenge, but my passenger had the shakes - nothing to do with my flying, I assure you.

http://i8.tinypic.com/85k8v0x.jpg

I suppose bonus points could be awarded for identifying the airfield?

mustpost 10th Jan 2008 18:38

Fitter2

Well done on the Flea challenge - my old man (wartime pilot) said they (old Fleas) would kill you eventually - much like a Robinson helo (allegedly -Mr Robinson lawyer).
Still trying the next challenge...

EDIT: Sorry old,not bold, did not mean to confuse as a genuine challenge. Punctuation corrected. Merely a comment on some advice from a very experienced rotorhead after I worked with him for three weeks who said .....:uhoh:
