This is the first time in this thread that I've seen the whole aircraft and I've still not got clue to what it is. :D

Okay, I think we've had enough of the floating alien head. It's the Canadian 21st Century Airships SPAS 13 of 1994, registration C-FRLM, which was a semi-rigid helium airship demonstrator powered by two 50 hp Rotax 503 engines.

Open House.

Hi guys. I've just migrated from the Silhouette Challenge thread for a while.

Noyade has declared Open House, so:

One of the `cousin`s` XF- models ?

Not XF, but you're close.

Hmm...three joysticks. I have a hunch, but I'll let others have a stab.

Well spotted evansb.

left reaction control
centre conventional
right high g control

Why not go with your hunch?

X-31 or Himat ?

Sorry sycamore, but no.

On "Silhouette Challenge" we usually stick to the 24 hour rule, so I might have to reveal it soon.

Clue shortly.

Try

Then look under X

Thought it was the X-15 at first glance,but the curved coaming looked like a w/screen arch,whereas the X-15 one was a chisel.
OH....

But it is the X-15.

There appear to be several versions/modifications.

The thread is all yours. :ok:

Open House....

Here is the next cockpit challenge: Sorry, posted previously, standby for new cockpit photo..

I checked the list, and this one is not on it:

Thought some ex-Squaddie woulda got this'n by now.. Left right..

Ex-Squaddie.
 

From an Ex-squaddie check your PMs Bri.

Rats, you've posted the only other cockpit I had available, although my version has a No 62 wireless set in the right hand panel.

bri,

It's morning here and I've just seen your post. Initially I thought high-wing Piper or Taylorcraft or something like that, but then I saw the dreadful panel layout and and the British tachometer, and then read your Squaddie hint and wondered if there were Any Other Possibilities?

Please tell me the 'Left' and 'Right' on the command seat rudder pedals are on the picture not the a/c!
