A Russian Shavrov Mel?

Hi Graeme
This one was not from Russia.

Mel, I see now there are two sticks, so a side-by-side cockpit.

The coloured knobs on the tops of the sticks reminded me of several German gliders I've flown, so on a hunch, I looked up German flying boats.

Sometimes, hunches pay off. I think it's a Dornier Libelle. :)

I42. You have it. It is indeed a Dornier Do A Libelle. You have Control. :ok:

Good post, Mel.

What an interesting aircraft. Quite modern-looking for 1921:

An interesting discussion of how it ended up in a German museum, but with a VQ registration, here:


Wings Over New Zealand - Dornier Libelle Flying Boat 1930




I don't have a sufficiently difficult cockpit to post, so Open House.

Watch your image sizes mate - the Mods have stated many times max. 800.

LM,

Better?

Yes mate.

Remember - I don't make the rules here!

Great work, Mel. Thanks again.

Your post reminded me that no cockpits have been posted recently. Here's one to get things going again:

Taylor Titch..?

No, not that titchy. ;)

A homebuilt maybe?

No, a certified aircraft.

German type attitude indicator..Continental then..?

sycamore,

I wasn't aware that it was a German AH. Not Continental.

Back to the top.

Everyone is missing the elephant in the room. ;)

Don't see any engine instruments and it's a very narrow fuselage....

ICT_SLB,

You've noticed the elephant! There are no engine instruments.
