Next Cockpit Challenge
 

Hi cockpit enthusiasts. Your next challenge:

They obviously included "ugly" in the spec.

Hmmm...something from the 'four is too many and two not enough' school of aircraft design. Is it Italian?

Not Italian, but from the Continent

Maybe the French S.P.C.A. (Societe Provencale Constructions Aeronautiques) 90 perhaps?

Sorry, not the SPCA 90, but you have the right nationality.

Is it the Penhoet 360 T5?

Sorry, not the Penhoet.

Possibly the Dewoitine 332?

No it is not a Dewoitine

The Bernard 60T?

No sorry, not a Bernard. Logging off now as its dark down under. Check guesses in the morning.

There can only be a few French tri-motors left, so I'll go for the wrong one= Bregeut 393T, then Mel can give us the right answer:}

Planegill's challenge
 

Well kitbag I do not know about giving the right answer but I would say that from the cockpit window arrangement and it being a tri-motor I would say it could be the Bloch MB300.The control yokes are similar to the those on the Bloch 220.

My alternative trimotor was actually the Bloch MB120, but a closer look at the screen arrangement as you suggest show that you are (probably) right- again!.

Only 04:45 in Oz, the suspense is killing me;)

Sorry, not a Bloch or a Breguet. I have to admit this is probably a bit obscure, as I can't find any evidence that more than the prototype was built. (It doesn't rate a mention in John Stroud's Putnam book.) The photo comes from a company brochure dated 1932.

Couzinet 33 'Biarritz' or Latécoère 35 perhaps?

Couzinet 70 "Arc en ciel"?

Le Dyle et Bacalan D.B.70, per chance ?

Not a Couzinet or a DB70. Although the model is not well-known, the company certainly is, producing a wide range of private and up-to-airliner size aircraft before the war.
