Cheers to you Asw28-866!

My attempt at posting a cockpit has failed, OH I'm afraid.

Off to work in the early am, back next week.

Best to all,

BSD.

p.s. Been a while since I was last in the Kimberley country. Incredible place..

No takers? Dornier 217K I believe.

Noyade 27th Feb 2012 19:53

That's the one Mel. :ok:

Your control.

MReyn24050 27th Feb 2012 22:05

Front windscreen is vertical or near-vertical?

MReyn24050 28th Feb 2012 00:10

As you say, certainly very little rake on it Graeme.

Noyade 28th Feb 2012 10:08

European Mel?

MReyn24050 28th Feb 2012 13:09

Not European nor USA.

Noyade 29th Feb 2012 08:54

Military?
Just the pilot? Or is there a crew/passenger/s?

Peter-RB 29th Feb 2012 10:08

DH 86?

Lancashire

MReyn24050 29th Feb 2012 10:17

PeterR-B this aircraft was not British.
Graeme. The aircraft was designed and built for military purposes just a couple of years before WWII.. It had a crew of 2. It did not go into service

Well, I was thinking it may be just the pilot with a heavily armoured flat windscreen, but now something like the Il-10? Gunner at the back?

Not European
Russian?

MReyn24050 29th Feb 2012 13:48

Not the Il-10 but correct country. This was a fast machine, it was an unusual twin engined aircraft.

Is it the Bolkhovitinov S?

MReyn24050 29th Feb 2012 19:22

You have it Ken.:ok: The Bolkhovitinov S

You have control.

skytrain10 29th Feb 2012 20:36

Thanks Mel...wouldn't have got there without the clues :)

Edit, challenge withdrawn as just noticed we've had it before.

Will have to be Open House

skytrain10 29th Feb 2012 21:27

Here's one that's not on the list!

To help you along with this, what looks like a central windscreen strut is actually the prop in the vertical position. Quite a common aircraft :)
