R6V Constitution.
Well done mate! :ok: Your control.

India Four Two 4th Apr 2013 15:11

Great challenge. Nothing suitable to follow up with, so Open House.

Looks like a Bulldog with `attitude`...Bullfinch..? OH if correct

TheiC 12th Apr 2013 19:56

Interesting research...

I was tempted to say Bulldog 200, which was, I believe, the military version of the Bullfinch...

But:

Where's the handle for the disappearing wheels?
...or is that the weird thing at (31)/(32), and if so, why out of reach of the RHS occupant and out of keeping with normailty?
The panel (especially around (60)) looks wrong for the 200...
The quadrant doesn't look very Scottish Aviation...
The sticks are the wrong shape...
I can't find evidence of a 200 with a serious weapons capability...

So, bearing in mind my dislike of highly definitive enquiries early on, ONE question:

Did this aircraft enter series production?

Noyade 12th Apr 2013 21:51

Eventing Gents.

Not the Bulldog.


So, bearing in mind my dislike of highly definitive enquiries early on
I don't mind mate, ask away! :)

No.31 and No.32 are the wing flap selector and wing flap indicator respectively.
Ans yes, it went into production.

Cheers.

Malmo MFI-9? AKA 'Biafra Baby'

Saab Safari? Open House if correct...

Noyade 14th Apr 2013 04:43

Saab Safari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saab MFI-15 Safari, also known as the Saab MFI-17 Supporter, is a prop-powered basic trainer aircraft used by several air forces.
Well done Theic - mine was captioned "Supporter".

Open House.

Time passages, as Al Stewart would say...

Avro Shackleton ?

TheiC 20th Apr 2013 03:31

Not the Shackleton, I'm afraid.

mcdhu 20th Apr 2013 09:33

mmmmm....ok, nav station, G1VB compass, Decca, Tacan, quite high speed ASI, British military? All guesses of course - Canberra?

TheiC 20th Apr 2013 10:34

All very good guesses...

The EE Canberra it is (though not the PR mark we had previously).

mcdhu has control...

mcdhu 20th Apr 2013 12:04

Sorry chaps. I am an ardent follower of this thread but do not have the wherewithal to contribute a cockpit.

Open house.
Mcdhu

Could only find a part of a cockpit...

The percentage rpm indicator tells me it's a jet, and single engine.

British possibly?

India Four Two 24th Apr 2013 06:53

I think the altimeter indicates a non-British aircraft.

Lightning Mate 24th Apr 2013 07:25

Well, I've flown a British jet with a three needle altimeter.

A sod of an instrument which is all too easy to mis-read.

Noyade 24th Apr 2013 08:20

Not British.

But yes, it is a single engine jet aircraft.
