No, Graeme, this was not a kitplane.

Kari-Keen Coupe ?

:ok: That is the one Bri. The Kari-Keen 90 Sioux Coupe, the subject of a recent Aviaquiz challenge.

You have control.

Thanks Mel! Fun challenge! Here is the next "What Cockpit?":

Sorry, not the Gardan GY-80 Horizon.

Cessna 190/195

C2j is correct.:ok: The photo is a Cessna 190. Your control.

Errr..one must be careful if one wishes to play. NOTE TO SELF: Be ready with a challenge!!

Just a wild stab...

Miles Martinet?

Not from the miles stable.

C2j

Looks a bit Hawker-ish..a Henley target-tug perhaps ?

Not from Hawker. To my knowledge it never served in "ancilliary" roles - though I could be proven wrong. Does the shape of the instrument panel remind anyone of anything?

C2j

So if it has machine guns, and a cable drum, but you say it didn't serve in ancilliary roles, what was its prime role, I wonder?

Unless it`s an HF trailing aerial system...Brit/Euro/USA ?

I can't say for certain that it is NOT a cable drum, but can you say for sure that it IS? Could be ammo feed for the guns, couldn't it?

Some spent a lot of time tied up in formation flying.

C2j

RAF squadrons in the late twenties, early thirties performed aerobatics tied together so using that as an extremely tenuous link, how about the AW Siskin?

I'd go for A Hawker Fury ?

Not an AW product, Kitbag, but your train of thought is heading in the right direction.

To move things along, it is NOT of European origin.

Apparently the site I originally downloaded the picture from some time ago has gon on the blink and this particular picture is no longer on the internet (except here, of course).

Ok, now shooting in the dark, how about a Boeing F2B?
