Fairchild 24R ?
|
You have it Bri. My source has it as the Fairchild UC61. However, the Fairchild Model 24, a four-seat, single-engine monoplane light transport aircraft was used by the United States Army Air Corps as the UC-61 and by the Royal Air Force. The Model 24 was itself a development of previous Fairchild models and became a successful civil and military utility aircraft.
I am not sure exactly which model the cockpit photograph portrays. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...d_UC_61K-1.jpg You have control |

Nein sprechen de deutsch. Dutch?, German? Yah to both..

Fokker F.II...?
|
Noyade, it is not the F.11. It is the rare, nearly unheard-of Fokker S.II primary trainer.. Don't confuse it with the post-war "bent-knee" S.11 primary trainer.
I'll give you control. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...11f7887_b1.jpg |
I will go for the Fokker S.I or TW-4 as tested by the US Army Air Service.

Mel, my cockpit photo depicts a parasol monoplane, but the following shot is a bi-plane. Your photo depicts a parasol monoplane that matches the wing struts of the cockpit photo.. I think you are correct. It must be the TW-4. Post #7468 is the Fokker S.II side-by-side, unequal span biplane trainer.

Thanks Bri. A very interesting challenge. I am in the process of reading Weyl's book on Fokker. He was a very interesting man and at times somewhat of a loose cannon.
As Graeme started me down the correct path I have no problems with him taking the honours. |
I wasn't even close gents!? Apart from Fokker.
But thank you. Sorry, but at the moment and considering the list, all I can come up with is an outside shot... http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/6813/img144y.jpg |
Clue required?
British......

Single engine monoplane 1930ish? DH 71 Tiger Moth VH-UNH possibly?
|
DH 71 Tiger Moth Your control. British registration (don't know the rest) with Hubert Broad at the controls. http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/4594/img161u.jpg |
Thanks Graeme.
The D.H.71 was built in 1926 to investigate high-speed monoplane flight and to serve as a test bed for developing the D.H. Gipsy engine, a follow-on power plant to the Cirrus. For the era it employed an amazing degree of streamlining and was actually built "around" (rather than for) its test pilot, Hubert Broad Only two were built - G-EBQU and G-EBRV. The first and former was sent to Australia in 1930 and registered VH-UNH to Frank.K. Bardsley of Sydney on 20 January of that year. It crashed on 17 September 1930 whilst practicing for an air race after suffering engine failure on take-off, killing the pilot, Dave Smith, 20, registered owner of the Ryan B-1 G-AUIZ and the youngest commercial pilot in Australia at that time. |

Update deleting the original challenges prior to "What Cockpit II"
The "What Cockpit" list has been updated today. I have deleted all those cockpits that were part of the original "What Cockpit" thread, some 370 cockpits, as the thread is no longer accessible. The list now starts with those challenges submitted from the start of "What Cockpit II".

Without doubt, an Extra 260.

You have it "The late XV1052 :ok: It is indeed the Extra 260.
