EvansVB has it well done...:ok:
According to some accounts he was the first to achieve sustained (1 km)controlled rotary winged flight...

(Flight Jan 24 1924)

Thankyou windriver. That was a superb challenge! Here is the next cockpit:

Thread wobble
 

To those who kindly provided the info on the Nav panels on the Navy Jetstream T2 many thanks from "Dickie" on another aviation forum.

Happy New Year to the "Which Cockpit? -ers" on PPrune. Best Thread along with Which Aerodrome? IMHO

Yes Happy New Year...

Does the challenge aircraft have a radial engine?

Happy New Year to all.

Bri. Are we looking at a Parasol aircraft here?
Mel

Happy New Year! It is a biplane, not a parasol. The airbrushed photo is from a magazine advertisement. The wings folded back on this aircraft to facilitate storage in a 10-foot wide garage.

For windriver, not a radial, it has an inline 'Cirrus' engine.

An English engine, but the lines don't look like a home grown product. French? (O for a few Janes' of the early 1930s).

The wing struts, cockpit placement and engine make me think it is one of the DH 60 Cirrus Moth variants.

evansb's challenge
 

If not a D.H.60, as ozbeowulf suggests, then perhaps it is the Spartan Arrow? In fact going by the cockpit doors and struts I would say it is a Spartan Arrow.

Now, having found a photo of a Spartan Arrow, I agree with Mel. That almost vertical strut from the wing to the fuselage side looks like a clincher to me.

It is not a Spartan Arrow, but you are very, very close. I will hold out for accuracy on this one. The mystery aircraft first flew in 1928.

evansb's challenge
 

If it's not a Spartan Arrow, then it must be the Avro Whittelsey Avian. Specifically, the wooden version with the exposed Cirrus engine.

evansb's challenge
 

If not the Spartan Arrow then it must be the Simmonds-Spartan, more accurately the Simminds Cirrus-Spartan. Not bad for £620. :)

You are spot on Mel:ok:. You have control.

Next Challenge
 

Thanks Bri, a very interesting challenge:ok:. Here is the next one, another back in time I am afraid. I must apologise for the poor quality of the photograph.

Siemens-Schuckert DIV ?

CoodaShooda. :D:ok: That is the bird, the Siemens-Schuckert DIV.

You have control.

Now that's a pleasantly surprising start to 2008 :) - just a guess from the German throttle on the stick, headrest, rounded fuselage and close set guns.

I don't have anything to offer - so open house, ladies and gents.

Well, it's been a few hours now, so I'll throw this one in to keep the thread going, as Mel says.
