CN-235....?

TheiC is correct.:ok: The version pictured is the M28B Bryza. Your turn.

TheiC 5th Feb 2012 15:21

Many thanks. I'm now thinking that the two gauges are the N1 and N2 values, and the duplex needles are poorly marked...

It's the two under the rad alt and standby AI, which have different caution ranges - hence my thought that we might be dealing with a pusher/puller... If anyone knows what they are, exactly, I'd be interested to know.

Anyhow, on to the next challenge, which (if no-one minds - please say if you do) is an engineering mock-up:

I hope this one might last a little longer than my previous attempt!

TheiC 5th Feb 2012 19:31

Perhaps this will help, too:

Good call on the PZL M28 TheiC:D!

Your photos show an engineering mock-up; did the aircraft progress beyond this stage and fly, and if so did it reach production?

TheiC 6th Feb 2012 01:11

Thanks!

It would be fair to answer "not yet" to both of your questions...

Harley Quinn 6th Feb 2012 05:55

Not seeing much in the way of engine information or control for that matter, is it prop or jet? Side by side up front, any other pax/crew further back?

TheiC 6th Feb 2012 06:03

No propeller here! And it's a two-seater...

TheiC 6th Feb 2012 13:04

...and I think I can see some engine controls. The powerplant instrumentation may be planned to be displayed on the MFD, perhaps?

SincoTC 6th Feb 2012 14:35

A'rtnoon TheiC,

Hmmm, been thinking outside the box and conclude that maybe outside the atmosphere might be the way to go!!

Could it be the XCOR Lynx sub-orbital rocket-plane ???

If it is correct, then please call an Open House as I'm back to work now, then if nobody puts another one up, I'll sort something out when I get home tonight.

TheiC 6th Feb 2012 14:44

You have bested me, Sir! :ok:

I really hoped this one would be more perlexing, but it is the Xcor Lynx.

I thought the ASI scale might have been the giveaway...

I'm assuming, by the way, that the cluster of four guarded toggle switches are something to do with the control for the Lynx's four rocket engines.

SincoTC has declared an Open House (until his home time, at least!).

Evening Mike6567 and welcome to the thread :)

Reading between the lines of your comments with the picture you posted, I infer that you don't actually know what the aircraft is!

If this is the case, then it makes the "quiz" aspect of this particular thread somewhat difficult and I would respectfully suggest that you re-post it one level up, in the parent Aviation History and Nostalgia page, by starting a new thread with something like "Please help identifying aircraft" as its title. I suspect that you would probably get a better response as many highly knowledgeable folk read the main page, but have no interest in the various quiz threads and so might not see it here. Quite a few similar requests have been posted there in the past and have all been positively answered, often with pleasing and unexpected results.

If I've misread the situation and you know enough about it to stand in judgement on any responses, then please leave it where it is and we'll all have a crack at it :ok:

Mike6567 6th Feb 2012 18:14

Thanks SincoTC. I have deleted the post. Please check your PM.
Someone else can now continue.
Mike

SincoTC 6th Feb 2012 23:36

Thanks Mike,

Replied to PM and sent possible lead on Tudor :)

Sorry for the delay guys and gals, when I got home my internet was down again! Seems OK now, so here goes:

All very quiet :(!! Time for a clue!

No armarment on this one, but its name was double barrelled :)

Harley Quinn 7th Feb 2012 21:16

Was going to suggest AW Argosy, but this only seems to have instruments/controls for 1 engine.
Also looking closer seems to have the upper wing in front of cockpit, so smallish European biplane?

SincoTC 7th Feb 2012 21:32

Evening HQ,

Your analysis is correct! :)

Harley Quinn 7th Feb 2012 21:44

Flat topped fuselage, silver doped.

Stuck!

SincoTC 7th Feb 2012 21:46

Don't forget my clue four posts ago, that narrows the field quite a bit

Harley Quinn 8th Feb 2012 05:41

Probably if you have 'Janes All The Worlds Aircraft Manufacturer with Double Barrelled Names' book ;)

Guessing this is early period post WWI? 1920-1925?

Given the guns reference, wartime manufacturer?
