Thank you Bri. That was a great challenge, another aircraft I knew nothing about before researching your photograph. :ok:

One of those damn dangerous German things- Bachem Natter?

Sorry kitbag, this one was not a German nasty thing.

Russian possibly..?

Not Russian a bit further East.

Chinee takeawy...or Ah So ?

sycamore, not from the takeawy shopee, keep going East.

The USA?

Looks like a very tight fit in that cockpit Mel. A very small aircraft? My stab would be the Bell XP-77...?

Graeme. Not the USA that is much t0o far east from China.
Be back on in the morning. Have a good day.
Mel

Morning Mel.

OK then, I spun the globe too fast, Japanese? The controls on the port side of the fuselage...are they for the landing gear? Hopefully not, as I'll stab again with the Nakajima Ki-27...?

Right country Graeme, Japan. But not the Nakajima Ki-27.

Kyushu J7W Shinden ?

Well done Bri.:ok::D. You have it, it is indeed the Kyushu J7W Shinden

You have control.

Thanks Mel. I read that a jet powered version of the J7W was planned. Here is the next mystery cockpit:

Its a Sun Ray
 

This Plane was designed by my father and was called Sun Ray. There was a two seater and a single seater. It could land/take off on water. It could be taken apart and slipped into a trailer in 20mins and it also could be flown by remote control. It was made of compsite and we had to line it with aluminum foil to be seen on radar. This picture is from 1987 ish. The Smithsonian has one in their archives and when My father sold the business and the remaining aircrafts and designs the sale had alot of Gov't attachments on who and where it could be sold too. He tried to sell it to the Gov't to be drone type aircraft plus it could be crated and air dropped assembled very quickly. They said there was no need for an aircraft like this......my how times have changed ;o)

Welcome to the thread fhi2003:) Sorry, not the SUN RAY. Fascinating story. Looking forward to the photograph when you are able to post same.

See page 202/203 on this thread! :ok:

Another clue: The aircraft had folding wings.

The Nakajima J9Y perhaps?

Yes, Mel, the Nakajima J9Y, a.k.a. Kikka is korrect. :DYou have kontrol.
