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

as evansb say certainly looks like the Avro Ashton. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...pitquiz262.jpg |
Avro Ashton indeed, Evansb. That didn't take long! Your sector.
(Thanks for the image posting info, John Hill.) Steve. |
Here is the next cockpit:

Laister-Kaufman LK-10?
|
Laister Kauffman TG-4A?
|
Not a Laister-Kaufmann TG-4, or LK-10.
|
Schweizer 1-26?
|
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?
|
Not a flying wing, but it was considered quite modern in its day. Only 57 were produced due to World War II's influence.
|
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 : http://www.marc-till.com/tmp/cockpit18.jpg One shall check your many answers at the break of dawn (or so) |
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.
|
is it a Quest Aircraft Kodiak 100 ?
|
ozbeowulf has it, it is indeed the Pilatus PC-12
http://www.aerospace-technology.com/...ges/PC12_1.jpg you have control |
Thanks, incivil beast...
Here's the next "what cockpit" challenge.... http://xs123.xs.to/xs123/08023/wotzit_8.JPG |

Plse check pms

LTV A-7B Corsair II?
Careful research i.e. the instrumentation now leads me to believe this might be the prototype A-7A? |
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. |
Sorry - can't see past Vought layout - the FZU-1 Cutlass then?? :confused:
Edit - Ahh - just read your edit |
Latest challenge
Careful research also shows I have joined this forum three years too late - good effort to all - Respect guys.......:D
|
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. |
Thanks, but before I retire I hope it wasn't a TSR-2 thing??
or finally (for tonight) XF8U-3 Crusader III??? :} |
North American XF-108 Rapier
|
Well done, evansb!!:ok: The XF-108 it is. You have control!

Thanks oz. Here is the next cockpit:

Pietenpol Air Camper?
|
Sherwood Ranger?
|
Sorry, not an Air Camper or the Sherwood Ranger.
|
A Fisher? (Moth?)
|
Not a Fisher (Moth) design. The mystery aircraft's design originated on the continent of Europe.
|
The mystery aircraft's design originated on the continent of Europe |
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.

Falconair HM360? (Kit build variant of the Mignet Flying Flea).
|
Fitter2 has it.
Falconair HM360? (Kit build variant of the Mignet Flying Flea). http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...raft/HM293.jpg |
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.
|
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? |
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: |
