Definitely a glider, as indicated by the yellow tow release handle and the wings of the one in front.

Back seat of an open-class two seater. As the ASH-25 is out because of the split canopy, one would say Schemp-Hirth Nimbus 4D

It's a trolley wheel used for ground handling

Perhaps the Duo Discus turbo.

Incivil Beast is correct - the rear cockpit of a Nimbus 4DM. The flap handle on the left ruled out the DuoDiscus, although the cockpit differences from a 3D are quite small (the handling is another matter).

Beast has control.
.

Even if one got the ident wrong, one wishes to put on record that one did one's 500 km in wood and fabric with a map and a compass and NOT 4 GPS thingies!!!!!:eek:

I feel your pain, Lars...

The most sophisticated sailplane I ever flew was a 1-32, which dates me with the dinosaurs, too. No electrics at all, let alone GPS.

Ah, well, we can look at it this way: The old memories come free with the other pleasures of being an old foop!

Cheers,

Glenn

Sorry, have been away and busy for all the day.

Handley-Page 0/400 per chance ?

Mel's Challenge
 

the incivil beast. :uhoh: I do apologise for jumping in, I just looked back and noticed that by rights it is your throw. If you wish I will remove my photograph. It is not the Handley-Page 0/400 by the way.
Mel

No problem, leave it where it is, the show must go on.

If you don't mind, I'll just slip my pic in before the next winner's.

Looks rather like a post WWI transport, Farman F-60 Goliath ?

Mel's challenge
 

An "Aero-Limousine" built by the Grahame-White Aviation Company of Hendon, England.

evansb has it once again :ok:. It is the Grahame-White Aero-Limousine.

You have control

Thanks Mel! A great challenge! I understand it was designated the model E-8, and was the last Grahame-White aircraft built. Breguet, Salmson and Westland have also produced models named "Limousine". Here is the next 'What cockpit?'
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...40/6754609.jpg

Piper Cherokee 235? Or a Cherokee 6.

If not the Cherokee 6... a Commanche perhaps.

Sorry gents, she is not American made. There is an obscure American connection to the aircraft, however.

Sorry, I should have looked closer at the rudder peddles, not Piper.

evansb's challenge
 

That looks like an Italian job to me i.e.SIAI-Marchetti S-205-20R perhaps?

Mel, you are spot on as usual:ok: The SIAI Marchetti S-205 first flew in 1964, and production continued until 1975, initially. Production was resumed in Italy from 1977 until 1980. Power ranged from 180-hp to 300-hp. WACO Aircraft in the United States assembled a 4-place version called the S-220 Sirius, and a 5-place version called the S-220-5 Vela, and may have been the last aircraft built by WACO. You have control.

The floor belongs to the incivil beast.
 

Thanks for that Bri. The floor is really the incivil beast's as I jumped in before he had a chance to post after winning control by getting fitter2's challange at Post #422.
Mel

I'm currently away from my home computer, on which I have a pic ready to post. If you can wait until this evening, that is.

Otherwise, I don't mind Mel posting an easy :E one to keep the thread running ...
