Sorry, mustpost, not the A-7, although this photo was taken at a very early stage in the aircraft's development process.


Edit: To clarify the statement above, this challenge cockpit has no connection with the A-7 whatever. It is is from the early development stages of a totally different aircraft.

Sorry - can't see past Vought layout - the FZU-1 Cutlass then?? :confused:

Edit - Ahh - just read your edit

Latest challenge
 

Careful research also shows I have joined this forum three years too late - good effort to all - Respect guys.......:D

It's been more than twelve hours since I posted this challenge, so perhaps it's time for a clue...

The cockpit shown is a mockup for a high-performance aircraft project which died when the military contracts were cancelled due to altered national requirements.

Thanks, but before I retire I hope it wasn't a TSR-2 thing??

or finally (for tonight) XF8U-3 Crusader III??? :}

North American XF-108 Rapier

Well done, evansb!!:ok: The XF-108 it is. You have control!

Pietenpol Air Camper?

Sherwood Ranger?

Sorry, not an Air Camper or the Sherwood Ranger.

A Fisher? (Moth?)

Not a Fisher (Moth) design. The mystery aircraft's design originated on the continent of Europe.

Definitely not the funny little group of islands to the left of continental Europe?

As an amateur-built, several have been completed on the British Isles, but the design definitely originated on the continent of Europe. In Canada, the plans and materials for the aircraft can be purchased from an Edmonton, Alberta based supplier.

Falconair HM360? (Kit build variant of the Mignet Flying Flea).

Fitter2 has it.
 

I would say you were on the right lines but not a HM360 but the HM293. If correct it is Fitter2's call.

Yes, it is the Mignet HM 293 Flying Flea, one of several versions based on the original Pou du Ciel, designed in France by Henri Mignet in the early 1930s.

Very generous of you, Mel.

I apologise for the quality of the next challenge, but my passenger had the shakes - nothing to do with my flying, I assure you.

I suppose bonus points could be awarded for identifying the airfield?

Fitter2

Well done on the Flea challenge - my old man (wartime pilot) said they (old Fleas) would kill you eventually - much like a Robinson helo (allegedly -Mr Robinson lawyer).
Still trying the next challenge...

EDIT: Sorry old,not bold, did not mean to confuse as a genuine challenge. Punctuation corrected. Merely a comment on some advice from a very experienced rotorhead after I worked with him for three weeks who said .....:uhoh:
